2. ABOUT ANIMATION:-
Animation is a method by which still figures are manipulated to appear
as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or
painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed
and exhibited on film. Today, most animations are made with
computer-generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very
detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation (which may
have the look of traditional animation) can be used for stylistic reasons,
low bandwidth, or faster real-time renderings. Other common
animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two- and three-
dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets, or clay figures.

4. Traditional Animation
Traditional animation can also be
referred to as cell animation.
This type of animation requires the
animator to draw every single frame by
hand to create an animated scene.
This is usually done on a light table that
allows the artists to see the previous
drawing through the top layer of
paper.
Well-known companies like Disney are
known for using this type of animation.
Traditional animation is still done today
on computers with special tablets.
5. 2D Animation
2D animation figures are created or edited on
the computer using 2D bitmap graphics and 2D
vector graphics.
This includes automated computerized versions
of traditional animation techniques,
interpolated morphing, onion skinning and
interpolated rotoscoping.
2D animation refers to vector-based
animations similar to the ones used in Flash.
This style of animation has been growing in
popularity because the technology is so
accessible.
Although artists have the option of editing
frame by frame, vector-based animation gives
the artist the option to create rigs for the
characters and move single body parts at a
time rather than constantly redrawing the
characters.
6. 3D Animation
3D animation is the process of
creating moving three-dimensional
images in a digital context.
These visuals are made using 3D
software, allowing animators to
create computerized objects that
look 3D even though they’re on a
2D surface.
Through visual effects and precise
timing, animators can make
anything from a video game
character to a car in an
advertisement look like it’s moving
through a three-dimensional space.
7. Motion Graphics
Motion graphics (sometimes
mograph) are pieces of animation
or digital footage which create
the illusion of motion or rotation,
and are usually combined with
audio for use in multimedia
projects.
This process is commonly used for
things like television promotions,
explainer videos, and animated
logos.
Advertisements rely heavily on
motion graphics and present
plenty of career opportunities.
8. Stop Motion
Stop motion animation is an
advanced flipbook-style form of
animation.
It involves photographing and then
physically manipulating objects
within your frame.
As each frame is played in
sequence, the technique creates
the effect of an object moving
itself.
