This document outlines and defines different types of animation including zoetrope, cel animation, claymation, stop frame/stop motion, CGI, and flipbooks. Zoetrope creates the illusion of movement through sequential images viewed through slits. Cel animation uses transparent sheets with slightly changed images to produce movement when layered. Claymation combines stop motion with clay models moved between shots to create the illusion of movement in sequence. CGI uses techniques like tweening, morphing, and keyframes to produce realistic movement through computer generation. Flipbooks create movement by drawing slight changes to an image on sequential pages.
3. ZOETROPE
The zoetrope produces the
illusion of movement when the
viewer looks through the slits in
its sides while it shows a
sequence of images that are all
slightly different
4. CEL ANIMATION
Cel animation involves the use
of many transparent sheets
which can all be laid on top of
one another. The images
on each sheet will be
Changed to give the illusion of
movement this is repeated
until a full length animation is
produced
5. CLAYMATION
This is a combination of stop
motion animation and using
clay models that are moved
slightly before each image is
taken to create the illusion of
movement when the images
are shown in sequence
6. CGI - ANIMATION
A very sophisticated
method of animation
which uses tweening,
morphing and
keyframes to produce
the effect of movement
7. FLIPBOOKS
These are created
using paper or card with
an image being drawn
on each page with a
slight change in the
postition so that when
the pages are flicked the
image appears to move
8. YOUR TASK
Research each of the different types
of animation describing how they
are created and providing images to
help illustrate what you have
written.
