−2-D animation consists of flat images with height and width dimensions, but not depth

−3-D animation involves images with three dimensions: height, width and depth

Animators create series of 2-D drawings by hand

−each drawing is known as a frame

−each frame is slightly different than the frame before it and after it

Also known as cel animation

−because drawings are made on transparent sheets called celluloid

Pros: efficient, simple, cost effective, allows for artistic freedom

Con: Has become less prevalent due to the advent of technology

The technique of using physical objects to produce animation

Can be 2-D or 3-D

Animator physically manipulates the scene and captures a series of frames in order to create the illusion of movement

Includes the following types:

clay animation

cut-out

object

pixilation

# data[].attributes.body
Involves the technique of using various 2-D characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials, which are all arranged on a flat surface

paper, card, fabric, photographs

Allows a novice to quickly and easily create animations.
Allows the animator unlimited possibilities when creating characters or objects

animators may use a single drawing, cut into pieces to portray movement, which would take hundred of drawings otherwise

Famous example: South Park

actor change their positions slightly between frames in order to portray movement

relevant to the animation industry and music video industry

Is considered to have more limitations when compared to other forms of animation

live actors are limited in their movements

A method of making 2-D animation by manipulating oil paints on a glass canvas positioned directly under the camera

oil paints are slow drying, allowing the animator to keep working for several days.

Allows the animator to create characters with fluid motion

created by using brushes, fingers and real-life tools

Considered very tedious and does not allow the animator to refine the animation afterwards

The process of manipulating 3-D figures and objects shaped out of clay in order to capture multiple frames

sculptures are formed around a wire frame called an armature

Led to two advancements in technology

Invention of the single frame movie camera

Invention of plasticine (modeling clay)

Gives the animator freedom to create figures and objects without the restriction of a specific character model

A method of 2-D animation in which a sequence of frames are created directly on the film  (instead of being captured with a camera)

Typically created by either scratching and etching, or pasting and painting directly on the film.

Does not require cel animation or photographing

Is considered relatively inexpensive and allows for animation with different exposures
