History:
The use of limited animation dates back to the earliest commercial animation. The first person to make a film with with limited animation was a man named Winsor McCay in 1914. Later on it was used in the first Warner Bros cartoon  in 1942 which is when the technique became known as limited animation.

Films that used limited animation:
Gertie the Dinosaur, Winsor McCay - 1914
The Dover Boys, Merrie Melodies - 1942
Little Einsteins - 2005-09

Advantages:
Time saving
Budget cutting
Efficient

Disadvantages:
Takes a long time
If you ruin one slide, then you would have to re-do it all again]]> 2017-12-05 11:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213231667 Cut-Out Animation jamespayne24 https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213231788 Definition:
Cutout animation is a form of stop-motion animation using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. The world's earliest known animated feature films were cutout animations ,as is the world's earliest surviving animated feature.

Brief History :
The first animator to make cutout animation – as far as anyone knows – was Lotte Reiniger, with “The Adventures of Prince Achmed”, in Germany, 1926.

She used elaborate paper silhouettes to tell a full, feature-length, magical story. Animation historian William Moritz sets the record straight for her in this article for Animation World Magazine.

Examples Of movies that use cut-out Animation:
The Adventures of Prince Achmed, How death came to earth and Go There Don't Know Where

Advantages of the technique: You don't have to use tonnes of expensive cels, you don't have to draw the characters for every single frame and it can be a generally quicker process. 
 
Disadvantage of the technique:
On the downside you have to be careful about ruining a scene by nudging the cut outs, once you move a cut out you cannot easily go back to how the scene looked in the previous shot, the cut outs are fixed so if you need fluid animation of a character you would need a lot of cut outs.

Animated pieces, such as characters and backgrounds, are made of malleable materials, usually Plasticine clay. Each frame is constructed and photographed, which requires a consistent lighting and environment to maintain the illusion of continuity.

In a 30 minute film at 24fps, approximately 21600 photographs would be required (sometimes animators use double-framing to reduce the number of photographs required, if characters remain still and there is no movement).

Animators need to be very careful in order to not accidentally alter the objects with any smudges, dirt or dust.

Scenes are often shot within one day or less, as slight changes in weather and humidity can have a noticeable impact on the appearance of objects and their positions.

Wallace & Gromit is probably one of the most famous examples of claymation. Other films and television programs include Shaun the Sheep, Chicken Run and Pingu.]]> 2017-12-05 11:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213232126 The French born artist Emile Cohl created the first traditional animated film, he did this by drawing each frame on a different piece of paper then taking a picture of each frame individually. This was done in 1908. far17000316 https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213232845 2017-12-05 11:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213232845 Hand drawn animated movies- far17000316 https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213233782

The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation. Outside Japan, anime is used to refer specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics and vibrant characters .Arguably, the culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product. Some scholars suggest defining anime as specifically or quintessentially Japanese may be related to a new form of orientalism.]]> 2017-12-05 11:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213234842 What is cel animation? far17000316 https://padlet.com/llo17004875/f9u8lrtsxr3m/wish/213235742  A traditional form of animation used in the production of cartoons/animation where each frame of the scene is drawn by hand.
