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.
