In the multimedia world (audio and video) when we speak of "animation", we refer to what is known popularly as "cartoon".
- Animation is the process that manages to give movement to drawings or inanimate objects usually.
- This is possible thanks to a sequence of drawings or photographs that being together manage to generate a credible movement to our eyes.
- For example if we want to create the feeling of a walk in a character, we should draw each of the steps performed in separate sheets (each sheet drawn with a different pose) so at the time to pass them consecutively, we perceive the sensation of movement.
- This requires patience, effort and dedication.
Types of animation
1. Traditional animation
It consists of drawing frame by frame.
In the beginning it was done through the drawn and painted every frame, only to be shot in a filmstrip.
In the 1910s , the process is streamlined to appear animation cells, invented by Bray and Hurd, which was to use transparent sheets, in which the characters were animated without having to paint the background in each frame.
At present are used various digital media.
2. Stop Motion.
Animation technique that does not fall in the category of cartoon.
It consists of movements appear static objects, capturing pictures frame by frame or movement by movement.
It's divided in:
- Animation of Clay motion.
- Animation of rigid objects.
3. Rotoscoping.
This type of animation is to draw directly on the reference, for example on the pictures of filming of a real person.
Snow White, the protagonist of the first Disney animated feature was encourage in this way.
It is considered a precursors of motion capture, the name by which is know to the motion capture computer used to recreate digital characters in movies, such as "Gollum" of the trilogy "Lord of the Rings".
There is some degree of controversy whether the rotoscoping is a real animation and its artistic value.
4. Cut out Animation.
- Technique using cut-out figures, either paper o photographs.
- The members of the body of the characters are constructed based cuts.
- The animation is achieved by moving and replacing the cut parts of the body.
5. 3D Animation.
In the three-dimensional animation there is some editor programs allows simulation of animation, textures, lighting, camera movement and special effects.
It is a complete and wonderful tool when the animator who handles provide soul knows its elements.
