    Animation Domination

    Animation is created by displaying a rapid sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other, creating the illusion of motion. There are traditional animation methods using physical objects and stop motion, as well as computer animation using 3D computer graphics and frame-by-frame manipulation of 2D illustrations. To create movement through computer animation, images are displayed on a monitor repeatedly at 24-30 frames per second, each image advanced slightly in time. Objects and figures are modeled, rigged with virtual skeletons, and had key frame animations where differences between frames are calculated by tweening or morphing.

    Animation Domination

    Definition

    Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape change by

    means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from
    each other. The illusionas in motion pictures in generalis thought to rely on the phi
    phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
    Animations can be recorded on either analogue media, such as a flip book, motion
    picture film, video tape, or on digital media, including formats such as animated
    GIF, Flash animation or digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer,
    or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.
    Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and
    those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, such
    as paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid
    succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second.

    Computer

    animation, or CGI animation, is the process used for

    generating animated images by using computer graphics. The more general


    term computer-generated imagery encompasses both static scenes and
    dynamic images while computer animation only refers to moving images.

    Modern
    computer
    animation usually
    uses 3D computer
    graphics,
    although 2D computer
    graphics are still
    used for stylistic, low bandwidth,
    and faster real-time renderings.
    Sometimes, the target of the
    animation is the computer itself,
    but sometimes the target is
    another medium, such as film.

    Computer animation is essentially


    a digital successor to the stop
    motion techniques
    used
    in traditional animation with 3D
    models
    and
    frame-by-frame
    animation of 2D illustrations.
    Computer-generated
    animations
    are more controllable than other
    more physically based processes,
    such as constructing miniatures for
    effects shots or hiring extras for
    crowd scenes, and because it
    allows the creation of images that
    would not be feasible using any
    other technology. It can also allow
    a single graphic artist to produce
    such content without the use of
    actors, expensive set pieces,
    or props.

    actors, expensive
    or props.

    set

    pieces,

    To create the illusion of movement,


    an
    image
    is
    displayed
    on
    the computer
    monitor and
    repeatedly replaced by a new
    image that is similar to it, but
    advanced slightly in time (usually

    at
    a
    rate
    of
    24
    or
    30
    frames/second). This technique is
    identical to how the illusion of
    movement
    is
    achieved
    with television and motion pictures.
    For
    3D
    animations,
    objects
    (models) are built on the computer
    monitor (modelled) and 3D figures
    are rigged with a virtual skeleton.
    For 2D figure animations, separate
    objects (illustrations) and separate
    transparent layers are used with or
    without a virtual skeleton. Then the
    limbs, eyes, mouth, clothes, etc. of
    the figure are moved by the
    animator on key frames. The
    differences in appearance between

    key frames are automatically


    calculated by the computer in a
    process
    known
    as tweening or morphing. Finally,
    the animation is rendered.
    For 3D animations, all frames must
    be rendered after the modelling is
    complete.
    For
    2D
    vector

    animations, the rendering process


    is the key frame illustration
    process, while tweened frames are
    rendered as needed. For prerecorded
    presentations,
    the
    rendered frames are transferred to
    a different format or medium, such
    as film or digital video. The frames
    may also be rendered in real time
    as they are presented to the enduser audience. Low bandwidth
    animations transmitted via the
    internet (e.g. 2D Flash, X3D) often
    use software on the end-users
    computer to render in real time as
    an alternative to streaming or preloaded high bandwidth animations.
