2. What is animation?
Animation is the process of displaying still images in a
rapid sequence to create the illusion of movement.
these images can be hand drawn ,computer
generated, or pictures of 3D objects.

3. What is animation?
Animation is the process of making
the illusion of motion and change by means of the
rapid display of a sequence of static images that
minimally differ from each other.
Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of
animation.

4. What is animation?
Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip
book, motion picture film, video tape, digital media, including
formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video.
Animation can display on digital camera,computer,or projector
and along with new technologies

5. Techniques that are used
• Animation creation methods include the traditional
animation.
• stop motion animation of two and three-
dimensional objects
– paper cutouts.
• puppets and clay figures.

6. Traditional animation
Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn
animation) was the process used for most animated films of
the 20th century. The individual frames of a traditionally
animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on
paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing
differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings
are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets
called cels, which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or
tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed
character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted
background by a rostrum camera onto motion picture film.

8. Types of traditional animation
• Full animation refers to the process of
producing high-quality traditionally animated
films that regularly use detailed drawings and
plausible movement, having a smooth
animation. Fully animated films can be made
in a variety of styles, from more realistically
animated works those produced by the Walt
Disney studio

10. Types of traditional animation
• Limited animation is a process of
making animated cartoons that does not
redraw entire frames but variably reuses
common parts between frames. One of its
major characteristics is stylized design in all
forms and shapes, which in the early days was
referred to as modern design.

12. Types of traditional animation
• Rotoscoping is an animation technique in
which animators trace over footage, frame by
frame, for use in live-action
and animated films. Originally, recorded live-
action film images were projected onto a
frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an
animator. This projection equipment is called
arotoscope.

14. Types of traditional animation
• A live-action animated film is a film genre that
combines both live action with
traditional animation or
computer animation sequences that add to
the plot or sequence of films. This can include
portray fictional characters interacting with
cast members.

16. Stop motion animation
• Stop-motion animation is used to describe
animation created by physically manipulating
real-world objects and photographing them
one frame of film at a time to create the
illusion of movement
16
17. Types of stop motion animation
• Puppet animation typically involves stop-
motion puppet figures interacting in a
constructed environment, in contrast to real-
world interaction in model animation.
17
19. Types of stop motion animation
• Clay animation, or Plasticine animation (often
called claymation, which, however, is
a trademarked name), uses figures made of
clay or a similar malleable material to create
stop-motion animation.
19
20. Types of stop motion animation
• Strata-cut animation, Strata-cut animation is
most commonly a form of clay animation in
which a long bread-like "loaf" of clay,
internally packed tight and loaded with
varying imagery, is sliced into thin sheets, with
the animation camera taking a frame of the
end of the loaf for each cut, eventually
revealing the movement of the internal
images within.

22. Types of stop motion animation
• Cutout animation is a type of stop-motion
animation produced by moving two-
dimensional pieces of material paper or cloth
22
23. Types of stop motion animation
• Model animation refers to stop-motion
animation created to interact with and exist as
a part of a live-action world.
23
24. Types of stop motion animation
• Object animation refers to the use of regular
inanimate objects in stop-motion animation,
as opposed to specially created items.
24
25. Types of stop motion animation
• Pixilation involves the use of live humans as
stop motion characters. This allows for a
number of surreal effects, including
disappearances and reappearances, allowing
people to appear to slide across the ground,
and other effects
25
26. Computer animation
• Computer animation encompasses a variety
of techniques, the unifying factor being that
the animation is created digitally on a
computer. 2D animation techniques tend to
focus on image manipulation while 3D
techniques usually build virtual worlds in
which characters and objects move and
interact. 3D animation can create images that
seem real to the viewer.

28. Criticism on animation
• Animation has become a domineering force in
media and cinema since its inception. With its
popularity, a large amount of criticism has
arisen, especially animated feature-length
films. Many concerns of cultural
representation, psychological effects on
children have been brought up around the
animation industry, which has remained
rather politically unchanged and stagnant
since its inception into mainstream culture.
