Well, layouts are a part of the animation process. The movement only happens in a defined layout, often drawn by the same animator who does the genga. It's not like you have a 'set' where you insert the characters into, the way you draw the image is part of the animation because it defines how it'll move.

That said, I think good timing and movement are important parts as well, especially for action scenes (which are, coincidentally, the most highlighted and 'popular' type of sakuga scenes)
