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

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...
