ANIMATION IN HOLLYWOOD

PRESENTED BY-- PRESENTED TO--GURPREET SINGH KAPIL SIR NITIN & PRADEEP KUMAR

What is Animation?

The word Animation is generated from word 'anime' which means life. Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement

The bouncing ball animation (below) consists of these 6

frames.

Many of the early inventions designed to animate images were meant as novelties for

private amusement of children or small parties.

Animation devices which fall into this category include the zoetrope, magic lantern,

praxinoscope, thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, and flip book

HISTORY OF ANIMATON• "The first animated work on standard

picture film was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by J. Stuart Blackton. It features a cartoonist drawing faces on a chalkboard, and the faces apparently coming to life.""The history of film animation began in the 1890s with the earliest days of silent films and continues through the present day. The first animated film was created by Charles-Émile Reynaud, inventor of the praxinoscope, an animation system using loops of 12 pictures.

Traditional Cel Animation / Hand Drawn Animation (20th Century)

•Photos of the drawings were first drawn on paper.•Each drawing differs slightly from the other to create an illusion of movement.•The drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels.•The cels were then filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings.•The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one onto motion picture film against a painted background by a rostrum camera.

Examples of traditionally animated feature films

Computer animation

Computer animation encompasses a variety of techniques, the unifying factor being that the animation is created digitally on a computer.

2D animation • 2D animation figures are created and/or edited on

the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D Vector graphics.

This includes automated computerized versions of traditional animation techniques such as of tweening,

morphing, onion skinning and interpolated rotoscoping.

• Digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator.

• To manipulate a mesh, it is given a digital skeletal structure that can be used to control the mesh. (rigging)

• Other techniques can be applied such as mathematical functions, simulated fur or hair, fire/water effect and the use of Motion Capture.

• Many 3D animations are very believable and are commonly used as Visual Effects for recent movies.

ANIMATION SOFTWARES• MAYA• The most popular 3D

animation software, and by far the most powerful available, is Maya. Used for special effects as well as animation, Maya is the software most in demand in Hollywood.

Z BRUSH

• ZBrush is a digital sculpting tool that combines 2d and 3d texturing and painting. It uses a proprietary "pixol" technology (see below) which stores lighting, color, material, and depth information for all objects on the screen.

• ZBrush is used as a digital sculpting tool to create high-resolution models (up to ten million polygons) for use in movies, games, and animations.

2D animation techniques tend to focus on image manipulation.

3D techniques usually build virtual worlds in which characters and objects move and interact. 3D animation can create images that seem real to the

viewer.

Animation Industry

The rapid advancement of technology has made computer animation available to the masses and the animation industry is one of the fastest growing industries.

The demand for animated entertainment has expanded with the increase in broadcasting hours by cable and satellite TV along with the growing popularity of the Internet.

Animated series/films can now be enjoyed not only by kids but the family on the whole.
