The most commonly used methods of making animation is motion picture or video program, many other forms of showing animation exist. Animation has changed and developed a lot over the years. There is not just one single person who can claim to be the creator of animation, as there were multiple people doing experimental projects which are considered different types of animation all at the same time.

    Animation, when the word is said it brings a different picture to everybody’s mind. In the beginning of this class when someone said animation I thought of Disney, Pixar, semi-modern animations on the screen. Through History of Animation when someone now says animation I think of shorts, cartoons, anime, and stop-motion animation. When thinking of animation I think about the hours, days, months, years that go to animation either three-dimensional animations or two-dimensional animations, but stop-motion animation, in my opinion, a more hard form to animate. To create inanimate objects in reality either everyday objects or objects one has created themselves and bring them to life is a hard foot to do in three-dimensional animations or two-dimensional animations but in reality, it takes a lot more time and dedication than normal animated films.

  • Technological Innovations in Animated Film

    1981 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the examination of the technological innovations, themed plotlines, and evolving characterizations throughout the near-century of Disney history, one fact becomes inherently apparent: the Disney franchise and its productions have both impacted and been impacted by the circumstances during different cultural eras of American history. Whether it be the incorporation of multiracial princesses in films such as Mulan (1998) and The Princess and the Frog (2009) in the past half century’s age of improved racial relations; the evident austere transformation in the character of Mickey Mouse throughout the Depression days; or the incorporation of wartime propaganda in Donald Duck shorts1, the Disney name has eternally and inevitably become intertwined with the surrounding culture. Walt Disney’s extreme nationalism and attention to politics become manifest when he states, “If you could see close in my eyes, the American flag is waving in both of them and up my spine is glowing this red, white, and blue stripe.” Additionally, Disney often emphasized the necessity for intellectual and spiritual freedom, and the need for the resistance of tyranny and oppression2 (Mongello). Ultimately, this Western individualistic thinking largely influenced Disney narratives, character development, drawing style, and overall productions in comparison to the analogous relevant Anime cartoons and respective collectivist mindset of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

    Animation is a visual technique that creates the illusion of motion, rather than recording motion through live action. The technique is used mainly for motion pictures. Animation can be created by illustrators, filmmakers, video makers, and computer specialists. Animation is most popular in creating cartoon movies. Advertisers also employ animation to develop commercials for television. In addition, producers of instructional films may use animation to help explain a difficult idea or one that could not be shown in live action. Animation can also be combined with live action in a movie. Many animators continue to make many drawings by hand. Since the mid-1980's, however, computer assistance combined with hand-drawn animation has become standard in many movie studios. These methods created such feature-length animated films as The Lion King (1994) and The Prince of Egypt (1998).
