This is an example of Pixiallation animation i found on Youtube.com.

Pixiallation animation: This is a stop motion animation used b y actors, while posing and taking shots frame by frame, while slowely changing pose. Eventually the actor/actress will seem like a stop motion puppet.

Aimators that have used this technique are Mike jittovs who made a short film called 'The wizard of speed and time', Norman McLarens who made the film 'A Chairy Tale' and Chuck Menville and Len Jansons short films 'Visciouse Cycles, Blaze Glory and Sergeant Swell of the mounties'. There are much more animators that use this type of animation around the world.

I think this type of animation is much more simpler then drawn animation, because the amount of frames you have to make to create a 30min production is very long. However this animation consists of one actor moving around and being creative.

Cut Out animation

This is an example of Cut Out animation that i have found on youtube.com.

Cut out animation: is an animation technique that is used from 2D shapes such as paper, stiff fabric or photographs, the characters and backrounds are made from these materials.

The earliset cut out animation was made by Quirino Cristiani in Argentina. Today Cut out animation is made by useing computers using scanned images or vector graphics.

Vector graphics is using Geomatrical primitives like points, lines , shapes or polygons, which all come from mathmatical equations.

Famouse artists who use this technique are Noburu Ofuji who createed the Thieves of Baghdad, The Adventures of Prince Achmed by Lotte Reiniger, L'armata Brancaleone an italian film animated by Emanuele Luzatti and theres many more.

Cut out animation is simpler then drawn animation, because this type of animation only consists of using different shapes and sizes made from different materials, which is definatly more simpler then drawn animation which has to have many frames and very detailed drawing.

This is a claymation that me and my classmates made, we had to mould some plastercine into different shapes and sizes and had to move them around to make this claymation.

Claymation animation: This type of animation is made by using any type of moulding material such as plastercine, clay or dough. A claymation animation is an animation with a backround and characters that are deformable, many famouse childrens movies or TV series are made using this.

Loads of Famouse animators have used this technique. They are 'Otmar Gutman' who created the famouse childrens series 'Pingu', 'Cosgrove Hall' who created the famouse british series 'Fifi the Flower Tots' and lastly 'Wallace and Gromit' created by 'Nick Park', and many more.

What is good about claymation art is that you can make anything with it, you can mould it in to anyshape, and you can move it around. However there are a couple of bad things to it aswell, you can not stretch it too much it will rip and the parts can fall off. You also can not make it look like it is flying or floating, but there are ways an animator can figure out for it to do so.

whiteboard animation

This animation is known as whiteboard animation, this type of animation was fun making, it was easy aswell. however coming up with the idea on what to do and create was a little difficult. This is because our set task for that lesson was that we had to start off with one object and form it to another.

I find whiteboard animation much easier than claymation this is because you simply rub off and re draw, as for claymation you have to mould, and claymation might fall apart.

cartoon construction

This is the cartoon construction guide i followed to succesfully draw cartoons.

my cartoon drawing

Another cartoon drawing, a simpler one.

my cartoon drawing

This is another drawing i drew, it was my first one.

my cartoon drawing

This is an example of dranw cell animation i drew this by following the animation contsruction. I added a few extras to make it my own drawing by adding the bow and the colours.

Many childrens cartoon use this type of structure for different frames. Cartoons such as 'Tom and Jerry', disney movies as well like 'Cinderella'. All cartoons are created by using the same structure. However now some animators use computers instead of by hand, this way is easier.

Some of the most famouse aniumators use this animation, 'Walt disney', he was famouse for his disney movies and was very good at it. Wlat disney was discovered in 1923 and was used as an inspiration for making other cartoon animation movies until now.

Animation is a sequence of many pictures of models, 2D or 3D artwork. In the process of making a cartoon theses are set aline to create an illusion of movement. This is known as an optical illusion of motion.

Frames: Is the amount of images per second in a animation film 2D or 3D. For example if someone was to create a 30min production, it will require 43200 frames, which is an enormouse amount of drawing, thats why some animators prefer using computers.

Object Animation

This is a video of an object animation that i helped to make in college, it took 2 hours to make, and it was an 18 second clip.

Object animation - object animation is a stop motion animation which includes the moving around of objects which are non- drawn.

It was fun to make but very long and tiring. it wasnt the frist time i create a stop motion, last year i had a go at it, using lego, and creating different games with it i.e snake and tetrus.

What is good about object animation is that you can create anything with it, if it were a scene, backround, story and loads more.

Wat is not so good about it is that its alot of hard work and takes a very long time, you also have to be very careful with the movements by making sure it stays the same pace, so it will run smoothly when you watch it.
