 Animation is the process of making
the illusion of motion and change by means
of the rapid display of a sequence of static
images that minimally differ from each other.
 A simulation of movement created by
displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
 These pictures can be hand drawn,
computer generated, or pictures of 3D
objects.

 The phenakistoscope was an early
animation device invented in 1831.

 John Barnes Linnett patented the first flip
book in 1868 as the kineograph.

 Adobe Photoshop
 Toon Boom
 Anime Studio
 Adobe Flash
 Adobe After Effects
 Adobe Premiere Pro
 Autodesk 3DS Max
 Cinemas 4D, etc.

 Traditional Animation
› Traditional animation is an animation technique
where each frame is drawn by hand.
› The technique was the dominant form of animation in
cinema until the rise of computer animation.

 2D animation figures are created or edited on
the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or
created and edited using 2D vector graphics.
 2D animation has many applications,
including Analog Computer Animation, Flash
Animation and PowerPoint Animation.

 3D Animation is digitally Modeled and
Manipulated by an Animator.
 It is also referred to as CGI animation, is
made by generating images using computer
graphics that create a series of images that
forms an animation.
 Characters in 3D animations are digitally
modeled on screen, and then fitted with a
‘skeleton’ that allows animators to animate
the models for their use.

 Toy Story (1995) was the first feature-length
computer animation film.
 Example :
3D Mesh 3D Model

 It’s the art of creatively moving graphic
elements or texts, usually for Commercial or
Promotional purposes.
 Example : Animated Logos, Explainer
Videos, App Commercials, Television
Promos or Film opening titles.
 It is basically points in 3D and 2D space that
is shown as texts, images or visual effects.

 Motion Graphics are simply flat-based
images or 3D objects that are given the
illusion of motion, accompanied with music
or sound effects.

 Stop Motion is done by taking a photo of an
object, and then moving it just a little bit and
taking another photo.
 The process is repeated and when the
photos are played back one after another
they give the illusion of movement.
 This is similar to traditional animation but it
uses real life materials instead of drawings.

 The process of Stop-Motion animation is very
long, as each object has to be carefully moved
inch by inch.
 We can Use Material Like Clay, Puppets, Cut-
Outs, Lego, Silhouette, etc.

 Primarily for Entertainment in Movies, TV
Shows, and Video Games.
 Used in Educational Videos and
Advertisements both on TV and on the
Internet.
 Used in the process of R&D to create
simulations of how a machine or process
would work.

 Skill and Ability Improvement
 Interactivity
 Flexibility and Safety
 Motivation
 Practicality
 Consistent

 Some information of real-life learning will be
lost.
 Require extensive memory and storage
space.
 Cannot depict actuality like video.

 Animation is nothing but a simulation of
movement created by displaying a series of
pictures, or frames.
 Types of Animation are –
i. Traditional Animation
ii. 2D Vector Based Animation
iii. 3D Animation
iv. Motion Graphics
v. Stop Motion
