    Animation is the illusion of motion created by displaying a series of pictures or frames in quick succession. It has its origins in techniques like cave paintings, Egyptian murals, and early devices like the zoetrope from ancient China, which used spinning disks or wheels to simulate movement. Modern animation developed through technologies like the phenakistoscope, flipbooks, and cel animation. Computer animation now allows for highly realistic 2D and 3D animated films by enhancing and making hand-drawn characters appear more real. Students are instructed to create their own flipbook with a sequence of up to 20 pictures to demonstrate the basic principles of animation.

    The key takeaways are that animation is the art of creating movement through displaying a series of pictures or frames, and it creates the illusion of movement by filming individual drawings in sequence at a rate of 24 frames per second.

    The different types of animation discussed are cel animation, clay animation, computer animation which includes 2D and 3D animation.

    Animation creates the illusion of movement by filming individual drawings called setups in sequence for a certain number of frames. When these frames are displayed rapidly at 24 frames per second, each one slightly different, our eyes perceive the pictures as moving, giving the impression that the characters are really moving.

    Animation - Definition
    ● A simulation of movement created by displaying
    a series of pictures, or frames

    Digital Animation / GRD2113 2


    What is animation
    ● Animation is about creating illusion. It is the art of making
    still drawings to appear move on film. Nothing is real,
    nothing exists as it does in drama- yet we are able to
    relate to animation characters as if they were real, and we
    can believe the world where these characters live
    ● Animated films are created by filming individual drawings.
    Each single drawing is called a set-up and is filmed in
    sequence for a certain number of frames. When twenty-
    four frames per second – each one slightly different –
    move in front of our eyes, we 'see' the picture moving. This
    movement gives us the impression that the characters are
    really moving and it brings the cartoon stories to life.

    History of animation
    ● Paleolitic cave painting - where animals are
    depicted with multiple sets of legs in
    superimposed positions, clearly attempting
    to convey the perception of motion

    ● Egyptian mural – approximately 4000 years


    old - shows wrestlers in actions

    ● Zoetrope - created in China around 180 AD


    by the prolific inventor Ting Huan Made
    from translucent paper or mica panels,
    Huan hung the device over a lamp.

    ● Thaumatrope - (disk with one image on each
    side) twirl it and the two images superimpose
    on each other. two frame animation

    Phenakistoscope - The device consisted of a


    wheel with the animation sequence (what we
    define as separate frames of motion now)
    drawn in succession around its
    circumference. Slits were cut in the wheel,
    and it was mounted vertically in front of a
    mirror.

    ● Flip book - creates the illusion of motion. A


    set of sequential pictures flipped at a high
    speed creates this effect.

    Types of animation
    ● Cel Animation
    The most traditional form of animation. It consists of
    drawings that progressively change in order animate
    certain actions.

    ●Clay Animation
    Also called claymation, clay animation is a type of stop
    ●
    motion animation that uses clay figures and objects

    ●Computer Animation
    Computer Animation is the latest technique of animation
    that includes 2D and 3D animation. These animations not
    only enhance the hand-drawn characters but also make
    them appear real as compared to the above mentioned
    animations.

    Create a flipbook
    ● Create your own flipbook . Make a sequence up to 20 pictures
