Every game I've worked on during the past 6 years has had the same challenges of getting these 2 to meet. I've never heard an animator nor game designers say "AH SCREW IT LET'S NOT HAVE YOU DO YOUR PART ON THE GAME!!! Too much trouble/money/skill required!"
Because SE don't give them enough time / money
