Most Noticeable Animation

By Dennis Durrel

Cartoons are on every single day, and the Walt Disney corporation has made an empire with it. animation is an art form that both kids along with adults could enjoy.

Animation is primarily a series of pictures that have been produced by an artist and are rapidly showed together. This show will generate a feeling that the picture is running. This is due mainly to the small differences in every image.

There are several different styles of animation. Cell animation is perhaps the most traditionally well-known style of animation.

This style has been used to make the animated films that we are familiar with. In this style of animation, the animator will draw on paper and each photograph is drawn to be slightly different from the one before it.

The drawings are then copied onto a transparency plus another artist colors the drawing. These are then photographed one at a time, and then the movie is connected and run at a higher acceleration to make the pictures looks to be moving.

Stop motion animation has also been developed over the years. With this type of animation, the artist physically moves the objects for each picture. Perhaps one of the most famous movies that uses stop motion animation is Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas. With this motion picture, the art of stop motion animation was really recognized for what it can achieve.

Perhaps one of the biggest advancement in animation has been the evolution of computer animation. With this medium the animator uses a computer to digitally create the images that they are going to put together to create the movie or television show. - 15615
