Animation: Traditional, Stop-motion, Computer Generated (Unit 9)

Traditional Animation (or cel animation): 

• The feature film 101 Dalmatian was made by traditional cel animation method. Each cel is drawn and painted, then filmed. when the film is projected a rapid rate of illusion of movement is created. From wikipedia I found outfit Ken Anderson was the art director of the film. 
• The link below shows a Youtube video by Sheila Graber telling us how she makes a cel animation.
• Sheila Graber is a Youtuber that shows how to make a cel animation in her videos. 

Stop-Motion:

• Stop motion is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object that appears to move on its own. The object is moved in little bits of time between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence
• A good example of a stop motion film is Coraline. Coraline is a 2009 American stop-motion animated 3D dark fantasy thriller film based on Neil Gaiman's 2002 novel of the same name. It was produced by Laika and distributed by Focus Features.

Computer Generated 3D:

• Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically, 3D computer graphics) to special effects. CGI is used in films, television programs and commercials, and in printed media.

• A good example of  computer generated 3D used in a film would be Toy Story. Toy Story, 1995. This was the first film to be created entirely by computer. The characters were rendered in 3D. It was produced by the Pixar Animation Studio. John Lasseter was the director.

Unit 5: PEGI

PEGI 3: The content of the given this rating means it is suitable for all ages.

PEGI 7: Any games rated 3 but has some violence scenes or contains disturbing scenes would be considered under this category.

PEGI 12: Video games that shows violent content or non graphic violence towards human looking characters or recognisable animals, as well as video games that show nudity would fall into this category.

PEGI 16: This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. More extreme bad language, the concept of the use of tobacco and drugs and the depiction of criminal activities can be content of games that are rated 16. 

PEGI 18: The adult classification is applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence and/or includes elements of specific types of violence. Gross violence is the most difficult to define since it can be very subjective in many cases, but in general terms it can be classed as the depictions of violence that would make the viewer feel a sense of revulsion.
