Lecture5 Animation Flashcards
__________ is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.
ANIMATION
It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision. This could be anything from a flip book to a motion picture film.

_________________ are incredibly varied and difficult to categorize. Techniques are often related or combined.
ANIMATION TECHNIQUES
the oldest and historically the most popular form of animation
TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
also referred to as classical animation, cel animation, or hand-draw animation (each frame is drawn by hand)
TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
The most widely-known style in animation, known for its realistic and often very detailed art.
FULL ANIMATION
A cheaper process of making animated cartoons that does not follow a “realistic” approach.
LIMITED ANIMATION
__________ creates an image that uses abstract art, symbolism, and limited movement to create the same effect, but at a much lower production cost.
LIMITED ANIMATION
The characters are usually very “cartoony”, and the animators have a lot of artistic freedom as _______ doesn’t have to follow the laws of physics and anatomy to the same degree as the other main styles of animation.
RUBBER HOSE
________ is a general term for an animation technique which makes static objects appears to move.
STOP MOTION
The object is moved by very small amounts between individually photographed frames, producing the effect of motion when the series of frames is played back at normal speed, as in conventional drawn and painted animation.
STOP MOTION
__________ animation is any type of animation which requires the animator to physically alter the scene, shoot a frame, again alter the scene and shoot a frame and so on, to create the animation.
STOP MOTION
TYPES OF TRADITIONAL ANIMATION

TYPES OF STOP-MOTION ANIMATION
CLAY ANIMATION
CUTOUT ANIMATION
SILHOUETTE ANIMATION
MODEL ANIMATION
OBJECT ANIMATION
PUPPET ANIMATION
(abbreviated as claymation) - is one of many forms of stop motion animation; specifically, it is the form where each animated piece, either character or background, is “deformable” i.e. a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay.
CLAY ANIMATION
____________ is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs.
CUTOUT ANIMATION
Today,_________ animation is frequently produced using computers, with scanned images or vector graphics taking the place of physically cut materials.
CUTOUT-STYLE
A monochrome variant of cutout animation in which the characters are only visible as black _________.
SILHOUETTE ANIMATION
is a form of stop motion animation designed to merge with live action footage to create the illusion of a real-world fantasy sequence.
MODEL ANIMATION
__________ is a form of stop motion animation that involves the animated movements of any non-drawn objects such as toys, blocks, dolls, etc. which are not fully malleable, such as clay or wax, and not designed to look like a recognizable human or animal character.
OBJECT ANIMATION
___________is often combined with other forms of animation, usually for a more realistic effect (e.g, __________ or Puppet Animation to add more complex movement or depth to the characters). For example; A toy car can be animated, but is more often animated with a character easily seen driving the car.
OBJECT ANIMATION
___________ typically involves _____ figures interacting with each other in a constructed environment, in contrast to the real-world interaction in model animation. The _______ generally have an armature inside of them to keep them still and steady as well as constraining them to move at particular joints.
PUPPET ANIMATION
Like stop motion, _________ encompasses a variety of techniques, the unifying idea being that the animation is created digitally on a computer.
COMPUTER ANIMATION
TYPES OF 2D ANIMATION
FLASH ANIMATION
POWERPOINT ANIMATION
Figures are created and/or edited on the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D vector graphics.
2D ANIMATION
(also called “cel-shading” or “toon shading”) is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make computer graphics appear to be hand-drawn. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon.
CEL-SHADED ANIMATION
_________ , Motion Tracking or Mocap, is a technique of digitally recording movements for entertainment, sports and medical applications.
MOTION CAPTURE
LESS COMMON TECHNIQUES IN ANIMATION
DRAWN ON FILM ANIMATION
PAINT-ON-GLASS ANIMATION
(also known as “direct animation”, or “animation without camera”) is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock, as opposed to any other form of animation where the images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation camera.
DRAWN ON FILM ANIMATION
A technique for making animated films by manipulating slow drying oil paints on sheets of glass.
PAINT ON GLASS ANIMATION
OTHER TECHNIQUES AND APPROACHES
CHARACTER ANIMATION
MULTI-SKETCH
SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION
is the animation of a _______ to create the illusion of life, usually as one aspect of a larger production, and often to complement voice acting.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
__________ is artistically unique from other animation in that it involves the creation of apparent thought and emotion, in addition to physical action.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
is an animation method of story-telling where a sequence of hand-drawn sketches are created simultaneously while narrating it with voice.
MULTI-SKETCH
To achieve this, a Tablet PC or digitizing tablet, can be used to create improvised progressive line sketches which are captured to video.
MULTI-SKETCH
are used in the film, television, and entertainment industry to realize scenes that cannot be achieved by live action or normal means.
SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION
They are also used when creating the effect by normal means is prohibitively expensive; for example, it would be extremely expensive to construct a 16th century castle or to sink a 20th century ocean liner, but these can be simulated with _______. With the advent of computer graphics imaging, _______ are also used to enhance previously-filmed elements, by adding, removing or enhancing objects within the scene.
SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION
creates anything that is not a character; most commonly vehicles, machinery, and natural phenomena such as rain, snow, and water.
