Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images to create the illusion of movement. Early animation devices included the zoetrope and praxinoscope. In the 1900s, some of the first animated films were created, including "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" in 1906. Traditional animation involves drawing each frame by hand, while 3D animation uses computer-generated objects that can be rotated and moved in a three-dimensional space. Common animation techniques include traditional, 2D, 3D, motion graphics, and stop motion animation. Popular software used for animation includes Adobe Photoshop, 3Ds Max, Maya, and Cinema 4D.

2. What is ANIMATION ?
Animation word is derived form word ”anime” which means “life”.
Animation means to “bring to life” or to give
appearance to a character.
Animation is the rapid display of a sequence
of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model
positions in order to create an illusion of
movement.
A football animation with
7 different frames.

3. Many of the early inventions designed
to animate images were meant as novelties
for private amusement of children or
small parties.
Animation devices which fall into this
category include the zoetrope, magic
lantern, praxinoscope, thaumatrope,
phenakistoscope, and flip book.

5.  1906:
J. STUART BLACKTON'S "HUMOROUS PHASES OF FUNNY FACES" is
released. It is a three-minute short in which Blackton creates animating
drawings of faces and people against a plain blackboard.
 1908:
First short comprised solely of animated images EMILE COHL’S
"FANTASMAGORIE" premieres in Paris.
 1908:
"HUMPTY DUMPTY CIRCUS" marks the first use of stop-motion
animation on film.
Beginnings Of Animation

8. Traditional Animation
Traditional animation (or classical animation, cell animation or hand-drawn
animation) is an animation technique where each frame is drawn by hand.
the technique was the dominant form of animation in cinema until the
advent of computer animation.

1.2 Animatic
1.3 Design and timing
1.4 Layout
1.5 Animation
1.6 Pencil test
1.7 Backgrounds
1.8 Traditional ink-and-paint and camera

10. EXAMPLES
Traditional Animation of a walking boy

11. 2D ANIMATION
2D animation figures are created or edited on the computer using 2D
bitmap graphics and 2D vector graphics. This includes automated
computerized versions of traditional animation techniques.
2D animation has many applications, including analog computer
animation, Flash animation, and PowerPoint animation.
2D animation creates movement in a two-dimensional artistic space using
different tools and software's.

12. EXAMPLES
Showing a man running
created with 5 different
frames .
A 2D animation of a
walking man.

13. 3D ANIMATION
 3D animation means animating objects that appear in a three-
dimensional space. They can be rotated and moved like real objects.
 3D animation is at the heart of games and virtual reality, but it may also
be used in presentation graphics to add flair to the visuals.
Careful manipulation of 3D models or objects is carried out within 3D
software for exporting picture sequences giving them the illusion of
animation.

16. MOTION GRAPHICS
• Motion graphics are pieces of digital footage or animation which create
the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio
for use in multimedia projects.
• Motion graphics are the crossroad between animation and graphic
design.

17. EXAMPLES

18. STOP MOTION
Stop motion animation is a technique used in animation to bring static
objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the object in
increments while filming a frame per increment.
Stop motion animation is almost as old as film itself.
The basic process of animation involves taking a photograph of your
objects or characters, moving them slightly, and taking another
photograph.
