are shown in the sequence to create the
illusion of movement. It can be created in
may forms including the hand drawn, cut

software and equipment.

5. Animator
 A person who creates or is involved in the process
of creating an animated film.
 An animator is an artist who creates multiple

10. Cesar Velazquez

19. 1. Traditional Animation
 Hand drawn animation
 used in animated movies
 Traditional animation first appeared
more than 140 years ago in 1877, when
Emil Reynaud showed the world an
apparatus for demonstrating moving
drawings.
 The first series of Tom and Jerry cartoons
were created manually more than 70
years ago.

20. 2. 2D Animation
 The uniqueness of 2D animation is
that images have only two
dimensions – width and height.
 It is believed that the first animated
2D cartoon was created back in
1906, but the style gained popularity
much later, thanks to the work of
Walt Disney.

21. 3. 3D Animation
 3D animation was quite revolutionary when it
was introduced. Not only has 3D animation
allowed animators to create more immersive,
realistic animated experiences, but 3D animation
also has practical applications in industries like
medicine and architecture.
 3D animation is often used for full-length
movies, interactive advertisements,
commercials, and other marketing materials.
 The first attempts to create a three-dimensional
image were made in 1961, and the first-ever
animated 3D clip appeared in 1972.

22. 3D animation is used:
 in medicine, to show the work of organs and systems visually
or to show the effect of a drug on the body
 in architecture to show a building under construction in the
most accurate form
 in production – for example, Porsche uses 3D models (in
combination with augmented reality) to develop unique car
designs
 in advertising to demonstrate how a product works or how it
looks from the inside (such as a complex mechanism)
 in full-length cartoons, either for entertainment or
marketing.

23. 4. Typography Animation
 Typographic animation or
kinetic typography is a
style of text animation. The
origins of this method go
back to 1899 when, an ad
containing moving letters
was created in France.

24. 5. Motion Graphics
 Motion design originated in 1960 and has
now become one of the most popular
animation techniques in video and content
marketing. In fact, the use of motion design
is everywhere – motion graphics
production is used to create movie and
game screensavers, commercial advertising
videos, promotional videos, explainer,
brand, and storytelling videos. In other
words, it’s an almost universal technique
that can solve almost any marketing task.

25. 6. Flipbook Animation
 This is one of the original
techniques where each plot
element is drawn on separate
pages of a notebook. Once the
drawing is finished, the pages turn
quickly and create a “manual
video” due to the quick frame
change. In general, flipbook
animation is an echo of a
praxinoscope – a device for
demonstrating moving pictures.

26. 7. Stop Motion Animation
 Stop motion is one of the most
popular, sought after, and old
animation techniques. The first
attempts to create something similar
to animation using this approach were
made more than 150 years ago. In
short, the essence of the technique is
that the creator takes several photos
by moving objects in the composition.
After gluing photos into one track, a
continuous video clip is created. The
advantage of that approach is that it
does not require expensive equipment
and facilities.

27. 8. Mechanical Animation
 Mechanical animation is used to show how a
complex device works from the inside out. All
the details and mechanisms are drawn with
mathematical precision. Most often, this style is
used together with 3D animation to achieve
maximum visualization.
 This technique is very popular in the production
of technical equipment because it allows you to
make changes to the yet undeveloped product,
significantly saving money on its creation from
reducing the likelihood of error.

28. 9. Rotoscope Animation
 Rotoscope animation involves
taking live-action footage and
tracing over it with a
rotoscope tool—similar to
traditional animation styles
that involve tracing
photographs onto glass
panels.
 Rotoscoping is often used in
situations where it's necessary
for the animated character to
interact realistically with the
environment.

29. 10. Motion Capture
 Motion capture is a modern form of
3D animation that allows creators to
create ultra-realistic animations
based on live-action scenes. Motion
capture is frequently used in the
gaming industry to create realistic
character animations and lifelike
facial expressions.
 The motion capture animation
process involves dressing actors up
in suits that track their movements
and interactions so that they can be
recreated with computer graphics.

30. 11. Claymation
 Clay animation, or Claymation,
is a type of stop motion
animation that involves
creating characters with clay
and photographing their
movements in sequences, just
as you would with traditional
stop motion animation.

31. 12. Cut-Out Animation
 To create a cut-out animation
production, creators utilize paper
cutouts of characters that are
superimposed on animated
environments. While this
animation style traditionally
worked similar to shadow
puppets, modern cut-out
animation involves using scanned
paper cutouts to streamline the
process. Cut-out animation is ideal
for cartoons, storytelling videos,
and explainer videos.
