1. Animation - Definition
The word “animation” is from
“animate,” which means to bring to life.
Thus when a multimedia developer wants
to bring an image to life, animation is
used.
2. Animation is a graphic representation of
drawings to show movement within those
drawings.
A series of drawings are linked together and
usually photographed by a camera.
The drawings have been slightly changed
between individualized frames so when they are
played back in rapid succession (24 frames per
second) there appears to be seamless
movement within the drawings.
3. Animation is derived from the latin word
“anima”,the “animating principle”,the vital
force inside every living creature
It is often used as a translation for the greek
word “psyche”,and related to the christian
concept of soul.
Animation is the technique of giving ”soul” to
inanimate objects,drawings.
7. TYPES OF ANIMATIONS

animation 2 Stop motion
animation 3 Computer
animation
Drawings are made on A model or puppet Computers can be
transparent sheets (shadow puppets were used to entirely
(celluloid) which may used in early stop create the shapes
then be laid on top of motion) is shot a frame and colours of
each other to combine at a time, with tiny animated action,
characters and changes in position working from a
backgrounds being made between series of
each frame mathematical codes,
or they can be used
to enhance hand-
drawn characters.

11. Stop Motion
The stop motion technique too uses the
phenomenon of optical illusion to create
animations.
In this method, real world objects are manipulated
physically and then photographed one frame at a
time.
Puppet animation, clay animation, cutout animation
are some of the types of stop animation.

13. Computer Animation
The two basic categories of computer animation are
2D and 3D animation. The 2D animation is created
either using '2D vector graphics' or '2D bitmap
graphics'. Morphing, tweening, interpolated
rotoscoping and onion skinning are the techniques
used in 2D animation.
The technique known as 'rigging' is used to create 3D
animations. Although many other techniques are used
to create a 3D animation, rigging is most commonly
used. The digital models made for 3D animation are
manipulated with the help of an animator. The mesh is
given a digital structure to facilitate easy manipulation.

15. CGI ANIMATION
Computer-Generated Imagery(CGI) is a
revolutionised animation.
The first feature film done completely in CGI was
“TOY STORY” produced by pixar.
The process of CGI animation is still very tedious
and silmilar in that sense to traditional animation
and is still adheres to many of the same principles.
16. A principal difference of CGI animation compared to
traditional animation is that drawing is replaced by 3D
modelling,almost like a virtual version of stop-motion.
A form of animation that combines the two words
can be considered to be computer aided animation.
17. CGI ANIMATED HUMANS
Most CGI films are based on animal characters,
Monsters , machines or cartoon like humans.
Animation studios are now trying to develop ways
of creating realistic-looking humans.
Films that have attempted CGI animated humans
are “Final fantasy:advent children” in 2005 and “The
polar express” in 2004. Films like Avatar combine
animation with live action to create humanoid
creatures
18. MAKING OWN ANIMATION
Many different techniques or methods could be used to create
your own animation. One can either use the Traditional
technique, computer animation or the stop motion technique.
Traditional Technique
The technique was used for many films that were made in the
20th century.
In this the first step is to make drawings for the sequences to be
presented in the animation.
These drawings are photocopied onto acetate sheets.
The side of the sheet which is opposite to the line drawings
should be filled with the assigned colors.
These sheets are then photographed on motion picture films
using a rostrum camera.
19. USES OF ANIMATION
The above mentioned 3 basic types of animation have brought a new
era of amazing technology in the field of Internet (Website design and
graphics),Film industry and media.In addition,Animation is one of the
popular Internet marketing strategies that make visitors stay on your
site for long time
