Thursday 6/1/11

Today in Laura's class we filled out our college applications for the next course we want to move onto after the summer.

Later on in Hannah's class we learned.....


Animation is a rather rapid display of images placed in a sequence using either 2D or 3D artwork as well as models to create the illusion of movement. There are many known forms of animation but in todays standards, the most common methods of presenting animation are motion picture or video program.




Two forms of early animation are the flip-book animation and the mutoscope animation.  The flipnote animation, being a more primitive form of animation, was created using many still pictures, with each in a slightly different position than the last and when bundled together and flipped would create the illusion of a moving picture or an animation. The mutoscope is similar to a flip-book, but instead the images are printed on card instead of paper and were coin-operated and placed into pleasure villas and arcades during its time.













Two forms of contemporary animation are Model animation and Cel-shaded animation. Model animation is  the use of stop motion within a live action film or short, a good example of tis would be the original black and white original King Kong. Cel-shaded animation is a ind of non-photorealistic  rendering that creates a kind of colourful cartoony style to the animation, its an animation style that commonly exists in video games more than movies.











The difference between early and contemporary animation is that contemporary is far more advanced than the early animation, because of the advancement in technology has been able to create a more diverse selection of animation forms and even been able to advance on the more primitive forms of animation.

My favourite animation has to be stop-animation, because you can literally bring anything to life with it from anything
