Introduction to Animation

Animation is the illusion of motion that is created by displaying a series of images or frames, each one slightly different from the last, over a brief period of time.

What is Animation:
Animation is the optical illusion of motion created by the consecutive display of images of static elements.

Difference between Animation and video:
Video takes continuous motion and breaks it up into discrete frames. Animation starts with independent pictures and puts them together to form the illusion of continuous motion.

History of Animation
Pioneers of Animation:
Winsor McCay of the United States Emile Cohl and Georges Melies of France. First Animated Feature Film Sinking of the Lusitania in 1918.

History of animation
Early Animations:
Started appearing before 1910, consisted of simple drawings photographs.

History of Animation
Evolution In Animation:
development of celluloid around 1913 quickly made animation easier to manage. Animator could make a complex background and foreground and sandwich moving characters in between several other pieces of celluloid.

History of Animation
Role of Walt Disney:
He was the first animator to add sound to his movie cartoons with the premiere of Steamboat Willie in 1928. In 1937, he produced the first full length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

History of Animation
Contribution of Computers:
A film like Star Wars by George Lucas would rely heavily on computer animation for many of its special effects.

History of animation
Contributions of computer:
Toy Story, produced by Walt Disney Productions became the first full length feature film animated entirely on computers.

Types of Animation
Main Types of Animation:
Stop motion animation Clay animation Computer animation

Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion Animation

Definition:
Stop motion is an animation technique which makes static objects appear to move. It is central to the clay animation technique used on popular children's shows

Stop Motion Animation

Stop-motion animation, or motion captures simply a way to animate puppets. Stop-motion animation is a very interesting way of producing animation .

Technique:

Stop Motion Animation

Traditionally a movie film camera was started and stopped, one frame at a time. While the camera was stopped an animator would adjust the object . The camera would film another frame - this would continue until all the animation was filmed.

Clay Animation

Clay Animation
Clay animation is also considered as a type of stopmotion animation.

Clay Animation
Definition:
A form of stop-motion animation that uses actual clay figures which are molded into different positions for each frame. Clay animation is sometimes called 3-D animation because the figures are 3D on a 3-D set.

Clay animation
Technique:
roll balls or coils and then flatten them into the forms. Combine the forms and smooth the seams with a craft stick or modeling tool. to keep the background simple.

Clay Animation
Features
In clay animation The best, most widely used tool should be your hands
Your hands shape, squish, smooth, flatten, pinch, and poke the clay the best .

Process Of Animation

Process of Animation
It is a process during which we produce an animated film or animated segment for a live-action film. This may include directing the character design, background animation, and any other aspect of animation.

Process Of Animation
Creating Animation:
There are four major parts to make an animation Development of ideas and story Sketching and drawing Putting it all together Edition

Process of Animation
The first step in the process of animation is to make the storyboard. The panel or series of panels of rough sketches outlining the scene sequence and major changes of action or plot in a production to be is known as storyboard.

Step 1:

storyboard

Process of Animation
Story board:
A storyboard is made, all the animators and directors come together to discuss the entire film. The storyboards are presented as the story

 Once the story is laid out, the dialogue is recorded. After the dialogue is recorded, the animators can make rough sketches of just the characters. Usually these drawings are quite messy, there is still no color, or background

step 2:

Step 3:

Process of Animation

Once the entire film has been drawn on paper, the animation drawings go to the inking Department.
There, the inkers copy the animation drawings on to a clear celluloid acetate, sometimes called a Cel.

Process of Animation
Step 4:
After the outline of the characters has been made, the unfinished Cel's go to the Painting Department. Before the Animation Cels get photographed a background must be added.

 Fifth step is the addition of background.

Backgrounds are painted with Tempera or Water Color paint. They paint on the back so the characters appear crisp, and have an outline.

Step 5:

Process of Animation

Process of Animation
In some Disney productions, the background was painted on glass (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
Now all the combined elements (Cel and background) can be photographed.

Process of Animation
Step 6:
After all the drawings have been filmed, the dialogue is added. Sometimes the film is edited at this step.

Process of Animation
Step 7:
The animated film is released, and the general public may view it.
