An Introduction to animation

What is an animation?

Have you ever watched cartoons on television? Cartoons are moving pictures that are created by a series of pictures. The pictures are displayed one after another to make it appear as if the objects in the picture are moving.

​

Some text here about the topic of discussionCartoon​s and movies that are made in this way are called animations.

In traditional animation, animators draw images on a transparent piece of paper fitted on a peg using a colored pencil, one frame at the time.

Hand-Drawn Animation

​

adopts the same techniques used by traditional animation. Also known as 2D animation, it makes use of the computer to generate most of the individual frames (based on the animator’s input) needed for a clear story flow.

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

Vector Animation

​

3D animation, or CGI, is completely different from traditional animation. It requires an understanding on the same principles of movement and composition but the technical skill set needed is very distinct for each task.

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

CGI Animation

any animation that uses objects that are photographed in a sequence to create the illusion of movement. The process of stop-motion animation is very long, as each object has to be carefully moved inch by inch, while it’s being photographed every frame, to create a fluid sequence of animation.

​Animation software

​Animation software is used to make animations on a computer. Common animation applications include:

Before you make an animation, you must create a storyboard. A storyboard is a series of simple drawings that tells you the sequence of the scenes that will make up your animation. Most storyboards are sketched on paper.

​

The picture is a sample of a storyboard.

Using a storyboard

The simple drawings that make up a storyboard are then sketched in more detail.

​

The picture shows​ a sketch of one scene fo a cartoon animation.

The sketch is then copied and coloured using a graphics of animation application.

​

An animation or video application is then used to move the objects in different ways.

​

​

The animation is then exported as a movie.​
