Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of images that are slightly different from one another. The main types of animation are 2D animation, 3D animation, motion graphics, stop motion, and traditional animation. 2D animation involves hand-drawn or digitally created images, while 3D animation uses computer-generated 3D models. Motion graphics focuses on moving graphic elements or text, and stop motion animates real-world objects or puppets by moving them incrementally between photographs. Traditional animation historically involved drawing each frame by hand on transparent sheets called cels. The history of animation includes early inventions like the zoetrope and flip books in the 1800s and the first animated films in

1. What comes to your mind when you think
about Disney, Pogo, Cartoon Network…??
Do you think of old Tom n Jerry Cartoons..??
Or maybe you think of the toys that come to life
and go on adventures when you’re not looking..
Whether it’s a Tom searching for Jerry in all the
house, or Cockroaches irritating Oggy, all cartoon
movies have one thing in common……

4. What is Animation..??
➜ The word ANIMATION is generated from word
‘anime’ which means life.
➜ Animation is a rapid display of a sequence of
images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model position in
order to create an illusion of movement.
➜ Animation means giving life to any object in
computer graphics. It has the power of injecting
energy and emotions into the most seemingly
inanimate objects.

9. ➜Referred to as Cel, Hand Drawn Animation.
➜Thousands of frames were drawn to create
the animation sequence.
➜Each cels or acetate sheets were slightly
different from the one before it.
➜Requires lot of Artistic Skills.
➜A lengthy process.
➜Softwares used: - Photoshop, TV Paint, Toon
Boom…

10. ➜ Vector Based.
➜ Refers to animation that is created using two
dimensional drawings.
➜ Slightly different from Traditional Animation
as less Physical Objects are needed.
➜ In it Animator has the option of creating rigs
for the characters and then moving the body
parts individually instead of drawing the
character over and over.
➜ Softwares used: - Adobe Flash, Adobe After
Effects, Anime Studio…

11. ➜ Referred as CGI (Computer Generated Images)
Animation
➜Made by generating images using Computer
Graphics that create a series of images that forms an
animation.
➜Characters are digitally modeled on screen and
then fitted with a ‘skeleton’.
➜The character’s body parts are always present and
should be taken to consideration.
➜Motion is smooth as compared to 2D.
➜ Softwares used: - Autodesk Maya, Autodesk
Softimage, Autodesk 3DS Max…

12. ➜ Referred as Typography or Animated
Logos.
➜It’s the art of creatively moving graphic elements
or texts, usually for commercial or promotional
purposes.
➜Motion Graphics are simply flat-based images or
3D objects that are given the illusion of motion,
accompanied with music or sound effects.
➜Highly popular for commercials, news shows and
internet videos
➜ Softwares used: - Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D…

13. ➜Referred as Motion Tracking or Match
Moving.
➜The process of recording the
movement of objects or people.
➜The MoCap technology is used in the
entertainment industry for films and games to
get more realistic human movements.
➜Softwares used: - Autodesk Motion Capture…
➜Used in Avatar, Ra-one…

14. ➜ Referred as Claymation, Puppets,
Cut-Out, Silhouette, Action
Figures/Lego, Pixelation.
➜Animations that uses objects that are
photographed in a sequence to create
an animated action.
➜Very long process, as each object has
to be carefully moved inch by inch.
➜ Softwares used: - Dragonframe, iStop Motion…

15. Claymation
Working with
clay or play-doh
characters that
can easily be
manipulated for
animation.
Puppets
Usually built
upon some sort of
skeleton rig.
The faces of the
characters can be
replaced based on
the expression, or
be controlled
within the rig.
Cut-Out
Using construction
paper or cardboard
characters and placing
them on a paper while
shooting the animation
from above.
The cardboard is then
moved a little each
frame to create the
illusion of movement.
Several Forms of Stop Motion

16. Silhouette
 Uses cardboard
or some kind of flat
material, but the
objects are all
black and the shot
is depicted with
silhouettes only.
 Oldest Form of
Stop Motion.
 Rarely Used.
Action Figures/Lego
 Popular on You
Tube.
Funny skits
created using Lego
Characters.
Use famous action
figures to make fun
of pop culture.
Pixilation
Uses real people
and real
environments to
create unreal
videos.
Uses the stop
motion method of
taking a still photo,
moving things
around, and then
taking another
photo.
Several Forms of Stop Motion
