ANIMATION - the process of creating the illusion of motion in change by rapidly displaying a sequence of images or frames
PERSISTENCE OF VISION THEORY - PERSISTENCE OF VISUAL PERCEPTION
PERSISTENCE OF VISION THEORY - claims the brain retains an image for a fraction of second after it disappears from our sight
PERSISTENCE OF VISION THEORY - series of still images is shown in rapid succession, the brain blends them together, creating the illusion of continuous motion
FPS - FRAMES PER SECOND
FPS - number of individual frames (still images) displayed or recorded per second to create the illusion of motion.
FPS - measure of the smoothness and fluidity of motion in an animation / video
TYPES OF ANIMATION
TRADITIONAL CEL
2D
3D
TYPOGRAPHY / KINETIC
FLIBPOOK
STOP MOTION
TRADITIONAL CEL ANIMATION - one of the oldest & most traditional forms of animation
TRADITIONAL CEL ANIMATION - hand drawing every scene on CLEAR CELLULOID sheets
TRADITIONAL CEL ANIMATION - sheets w/ painted background r placed on top of the other
2D - creating movements using static images in two dimensions
2D ANIMATION - characs & backgs r drawn directly into the computer, software assists in creating animation by sequencing drawings
3D - creating characters, objects, and environments in a 3-dimensional digital space
3D - artists use specialized software like BLENDER to model, rig, animate, and render scenes
3D - used extensively in animated films, video games, and visual effects for movies
TYPOGRAPHY - aka KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY
TYPOGRAPHY - involves moving texts with effects
TYPOGRAPHY - often used in movies & other videos as title screens, intro segments, credits segments
FLIPBOOK - display that contains many pages, each pages being only slightly different than the next
FLIPBOOK - when flipped at a rapid rate, images appear to have movements
STOP MOTION - technique where the objects used in the scene are physically moved in every frame and photographed
STOP MOTION - the individual photographs r edited & created into a sequence to create an illusion of movement
STOP MOTION - usually used in cartoons, short films, commercials, other creative mediums
