Animation An optical illusion of movement using 2D and 3D art.
Zeotrope • This is a common flip book and was an early popular animation devices invented during the 19th century.
Thaumatrope • A thaumatrope is a toy that was popular in Victorian times. A disk or card with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to combine into a single image.
Kinetoscope • Invented by Thomas Edison • NOT a movie projector • Designed for films to be viewed individually through the window of a cabinet housing its components.
Walt Disney • The animation studio was first established on October 16, 1923. • Steamboat Mickey • This was the same time sound was introduced to film • First Full Length animated feature was: • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Traditional Animation • Called cel animation or hand-drawn animation • The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, which are first drawn on paper. • To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. • Eadweard Muybridge rotoscoped his traditional animations.
Full Animation • The process of producing high-quality traditionally animated films • Detailed drawings and plausible movement. • Realistic: Beauty and the Beast, Lion King • More Cartoony: The Iron Giant • High Production Value
Limited Animation • Less detailed and/or more stylized drawings and methods of movement. • Web cartoons or cartoon TV shows. • Mass Produce at less cost and time. • Examples: SpongebobSquarepants, Japanese animation.
Rotoscoping • Patented by Max Fleishner in 1917 • The animators trace live-action movement, frame by frame. • The source film can be directly copied from actors' outlines into animated drawings. • Scanner Darkly and Lord of the Rings
Live-Action Animation • Combining hand-drawn characters into live action shots. • Set has to be moved with animation. • Who Framed Roger Rabbit,Space Jams
Stopmotion Animation • animation created by physically manipulating real-world objects and photographing them one frame of film at a time to create the illusion of movement. • Puppet Animation: The Nightmare Before Christmas • Claymation: Gumby • Cut-out Animation: South Park • Model Animation: King Kong
2D/3D Animation • 2D Animation figures are created and/or edited on the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D Vector Graphics. • 3D Animation is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. To manipulate a mesh, it is given a digital skeletal structure that can be used to control the mesh. This process is called rigging. • CGI: Computer Generated Images
