Study Notes
Cutout Animation
- A form of stop-motion animation using flat characters and props made from materials like paper, card, or photographs.
- Props are cut out and function as puppets, allowing for expressive movement in animations.
- Recognized as one of the earliest forms of animated feature films.
Frame-by-Frame Animation
- Involves creating each frame of animation separately, resulting in a series of images.
- Individual frames are played in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.
- Commonly used for complex animations with multiple moving components, enabling intricate and detailed storytelling.
Rotoscoping
- An animation technique that involves tracing over live-action video frames.
- Used to create animated versions of real footage, enhancing both realism and stylization.
- Prominent in early cinematic animation, where hand-drawn elements were layered over live-action scenes.
Computer Animation
- Involves generating digital animations from hand-drawn or 3D models on a computer.
- Allows for manipulation of characters and settings to achieve desired movements and visual effects.
- Widely utilized in modern video games and animated films for its flexibility and ability to produce high levels of detail.
