This document provides an overview of the history and techniques of animation. It discusses early examples of animation in Egyptian art and devices like the thaumatrope and flip book. It then outlines different animation techniques including stop motion, cel animation, and computer generated imagery. For each technique, it provides brief descriptions and examples to illustrate how they work and have evolved over time. Major milestones like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and films by Disney and Pixar are also mentioned.
Animation
- 1. -An Art of Creation Presented by S.M.Brundha
- 2. • What is ANIMATION? • Historical review of animation • Animation Techniques • Stop Animation • Cel Animation • Computer generated imagery • Conclusion
- 3. • The word “Animation” is a form of “animate”, which means an image is brought to life also defined as a handmade motion picture. • An Animation is a continuous, time-varying image. What is Animation?
- 4. Egyptian burial chamber mural. Early approaches to motion in art: In this image the legs position of the animal is changed indicating a motion Five images sequence from a vase.This shows scenes of young soldiers being trained in wrestling and combat. Different motions of soldiers is depicted These paintings are 4000 years old
- 5. A Thaumatrope is a circular disk or card with two different pictures on each side along with threads when rotated the pictures combine . A Zeotrope was a cylindrical spinning devices with several frames of animation along the circumference. Vertical slits of cylinder are for viewing the motion of image. A Flip book contains images Depicting a motion and are drawn on the edges when the pages are turned we can see a action in the images.
- 6. ANIMATION TECHNIQUES • Stop Motion Technique(1908):It is a video technique in which real objects are moved time to time and each step is recorded so that when the images are viewed as a video, they appear to be moving by some invisible force. Clay animation comes under this. It is used at present also. The first hand drawn stop motion animation is “The dinosaur”
- 7. • Disney’s first project with this technique is “Alice Comedies” • Disney attained first break through with “steam willie boat” which has fully post produced sound. • During this breakthrough the age is defined as “Golden age of animation” Steam willie boat
- 8. • Celluloid Animation:The process of first drawing each frame of animation onto paper, then transferring these to transparent acetate sheets (cels, short for celluloid). Colour is then added on the reverse of the cel. Layers are built up to create dimension. The cels are individually photographed onto film by a rostrum camera. : Drawing the arts OUTLINING Tracing on celluloid sheet Coloring the drawing sketching BACKGROUND Placing background back of cell
- 9. Photography After photography the film is synced with the sound and the video is played Rostrum camera PHOTGRAPHY
- 10. The first outbreak through by this technique was With snow white and the seven dwarfs Cartoon shows Cartoon movies Loony tunes cinderella
- 11. • it includes 2D,3D,LIVE 3D technology using computer softwares . • 2D Animation: Created using bitmap or vector graphics Softwares. • Used for flash animation and PowerPoint animation as well as some 2D cartoons • Some cartoons by this are: COMPUTER GRAPHIC IMAGERY:
- 12. 3D ANIMATION: • Objects are made by first creating a “rigging mesh” .As well as in this the animator uses gravity, particle and texture simulations to create realistic animations
- 13. • Actors can also wear suits with sensors ,which copies their movements to computer
- 14. • Notable examples of computer animation include: Bal Ganesh , The Polar Express ,avatar and of course, any film by Pixar...
