Other Types Of Animation


Hand drawn animation- To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. As technology has advanced, computers are now used to scan the drawings and backgrounds to make things go faster in production. Examples of these would be The Lion King for modern day hand drawn animations, then Pinocchio for traditional hand drawn animation. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfGCIXgNCf4 –Pinocchio)

Rotoscoping- is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films. An example would be the 1978 film adaption of the first half of the Lord of the Rings where it was filmed with live actors then Cel shaded into an animation.

Stop motion- puppets, clay, cut outs, silhouette, model, object, graphic animation.  This is created by photographing one frame at a time moving the object a bit, then all the photos together will create the illusion that it is moving.

Computer animation- 2D and 3D animations, machinima, the first two are two types of animations done on the computer by creating 2D or 3D gifs, then machinima is where films or shorts are created by screen capturing in video games.

Flip book animation- creating movement by flicking through the pages of a notepad and drawing different movements on each one, creating a scene when flicked through quickly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uugzASseSs –a flip book animation)

Full animation- these are mostly films being fully animated to high quality standard which use detailed drawings and plausible movement, Disney produce a majority of these type of animation films
