ANIMATION:

Definition: Te idea of animation can be described as being the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D artwork, picture or model positions in a specific order to create the illusion of movement.
Animation can be presented in multiple forms. One of these methods, which is often considered the most common of the methods, is as a motion picture or in video program formate.

Traditional animation (otherwise known as “cell animation”) was the method utilized during the 20th century. This process consisted of the producer creating photographs of his original sketches or drawings which were more than often produced on paper.

So that the animation successfully created the illusion of movement, each of the drawings differing slightly from one to the next. The animators or producers drawings are then either traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets (known as cells). These are then filled in with paints in assigned colours or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cels are then photographed singly onto a motion picture film against a painted backgroud by what is known as a “Rostrum camera”.

This original process utilized to produce films such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by Disney Pictures become obsolete during the 21st century. Now, modern animator’ drawing and their backgrounds are either scanned into or drawn directly into a computer system making it simpler and quicker fro them to produce their animation.
