Types Of Animations

In this blog I will be telling you about the different types of animation, I will also be telling you and describing 2 different animations.

Okay so let’s start with with a simple question: how many types of animations are there?

There are many types of animations so I will give you a few:

• Cell Animations,
• Computer Animations,
• Stop Motion Animations,
• Web Animations, (this is where small animations are made to decorate their websites)
• Jab Animations ( this is where you can upload your photo and insert into a funny pre – existing animations)

So I am going to be to telling you about cell animations and stop motion animations.

Cell Animations:

A cell animation is an animation that uses a series of drawings on pieces of transparent sheets. The drawing are then laid in top of each other to combine objects characters etc for their animations, these are then slightly changed between the drawing to create the illusion of movement, this is so they can make their animations.

Stop Motion Animations

A stop motion animation is where a model or a puppets (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes that are made between each frame.

What Is Rotoscoping And Where It Is Used??

In this blog  I will be explaining about rotoscoping, and include an example of where it is used.

So let’s start off with a simple question: What is rotoscoping??

Rotoscoping  is a device that projects and enlarges individual frames of filmed live action to permit then to be used to create a cartoon animation and composite film sequences. (Google)

So in my own words you can use rotoscoping to make an animation or even a film. Before they make they animation they first bring in people and act it out and they record it, then they use rotoscoping to turn that recording in to an animation.

So where is it used??

Well rotoscoping are used for many different types of cartoon or movies do here are a few examples:

• Looney tunes,
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
• Lord of the Rings (1978),
• Peter Pan,
• But rotoscoping is used a lot  in the Disney studios.

When Referring To Animation What Is Rendering?

In this blog, I will be telling you what is rendering when you are referring to animation.

So first of all what is rendering?

Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model, (or a model in what collectively could be called a scene file) by means of computer programs. Also, the results of such a model can be called a rendering. A scene file could contain texture, lighting, and shading information as a description of the virtual scene.

The date that is then stored in the scene file is then passed to a rendering program to be processed and output to a digital image.

In some highly complex animations, rendering can take a lot of time as the program processes each pixel in each frame. Some programs have a low-quality render settings that allow fast test renders to make sure that the animation  models or effects are working according to expectations.
