A look at modern day animation

1. Digital Media

2. Claymation
A Carnegie Media
Student produced this
small claymation
animation using
premier pro software.
The student made the
figures using
plasticine clay, the
software created a ten
frame per second
sequence which
although looks good is
a little bit shaky.

3. Stop motion animation
Wallace and Gromit is a good example of
stop motion animation which uses twenty
four frames per second to achieve a
smooth animation for film and television.

4. Battleship 2012 Special
Effect
The movie
Battleship
made in 2012
uses the latest
computer
animation for
special effects
this creates
photo realistic
images and has
revolutionised
the movie
industry.

5. A Whole World Created
James
Cameron’s film
Avatar not only
creates the
entire world
that the film is
set in, but it
creates most of
the characters
and creatures
which makes
movie making
out of this
world.

6. Movement Capture
To create a
realistic
performance real
actors are fitted
with censors to
capture the
movement of the
character this is
then used by the
animators to
create the digital
character.

7. Movement Capture 2
Another fine
example of what
can be done with
movement
capture. This
created the
character of
Ceaser from the
film Rise of the
Planet of the
Apes.

8. Movement Capture Demonstration
The actor Andy
Serkis is best
known in the
business for
movement capture
creatures from
King Kong to
Golum and Ceaser
from Rise of the
Planet of the
Apes.

9. CGI: Arnold
Terminator
Salvation 2009
used CGI
animation to
create a
previous
version of
Arnold
Schwarzenegg
er from the
1984
Terminator
film.
