I agree that homogenized visuals aren't desirable, but lets not get hung up on medium and process.You are making general statements, and then supporting them with specific examples that support your generalizations.One could easily do the same in reverse, and find specific examples that refute your generalizations.
If you want to generalize to an end, how about encouraging people to find their own voice,perspective, and look, regardless of the medium.
I have seen just as high a percentage of examples of homogeneity and sameness in hand processed film and in-camera 16mm animation as i have in digital SLR filmmaking or iphone photography.
Some things that used to be special aren't anymore because we have cheap, easy technology to do it with, but it also used to be special to be able to light a fire....
