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

−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

Displays images on the computer screen and quickly replaces it with a new image which has been slightly altered

Has become increasingly realistic and popular in film and tv

Has the ability to speed up a project
  • images can be stored for later use
    • beneficial for shows produced on a weekly basis

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Allows a novice to quickly and easily create animation

  • 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
]]> 2021-01-22 17:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/summeralmaguer/typesofanimation/wish/1115026342 Draw-on-Film Animation summeralmaguer https://padlet.com/summeralmaguer/typesofanimation/wish/1115052290 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]]> 2021-01-22 17:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/summeralmaguer/typesofanimation/wish/1115052290 Paint-on-Glass (Animation) summeralmaguer https://padlet.com/summeralmaguer/typesofanimation/wish/1115293942 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

  • each page acts as one frame
  • frames may be hand drawn sketches or photographs

May be considered one of the earliest forms of animation

Does not require special tools, equipment or computer skills to create
