    About this ebook

    Animation is a creative and technical art form that involves bringing static images or objects to life through motion. Here are some key tricks and techniques used in animation:

    Squash and Stretch: This principle involves exaggerating the shape and form of an object to convey weight, impact, and flexibility. It adds life and vitality to the animation by creating a sense of anticipation and impact.

    Timing and Spacing: The timing and spacing of keyframes in animation play a crucial role in creating realistic and believable movement. Understanding the principles of timing and spacing helps in achieving the desired effect and conveying the intended emotion or action.

    Arcs: Natural movements often follow arched or curved paths rather than straight lines. Incorporating arcs in animation helps in creating fluid and organic movements, adding realism and naturalness to the motion.

    Anticipation: Anticipation is used to prepare the audience for an upcoming action or movement. It involves a brief motion in the opposite direction before the primary action, adding weight and impact to the movement.

    Follow-through and Overlapping Action: When an object or character comes to a stop after a movement, certain parts continue to move briefly due to inertia. This follow-through action, combined with overlapping movements of different parts of the body, adds to the naturalness and realism of the animation.

    Secondary Action: Secondary actions are additional movements that enhance the primary action and contribute to the overall storytelling. They can be used to convey emotions, add detail, or create a sense of depth and complexity.

    Staging: Staging refers to the arrangement of elements within a scene to convey a clear message or focal point. Effective staging ensures that the audience understands the main action or idea without confusion.

    Exaggeration: Exaggeration is a technique used to emphasize and heighten actions, expressions, or movements. It adds interest, impact, and appeal to the animation, making it more engaging for the audience.

    Appeal: Creating appealing characters and designs is essential in animation. The design of characters, their expressions, and personalities should capture the attention and interest of the audience, making them relatable and memorable.

    Storytelling and Posing: Animation is a powerful medium for storytelling. Creating strong poses and compositions helps in conveying the character's emotions, intentions, and actions effectively.

    Remember that mastering these tricks and techniques takes time and practice. Studying animation principles, observing real-life movements, and analyzing animations from experienced animators can greatly enhance your skills and understanding of the art form.

      Animation

      1. Animation

      Hey my name is Hayao Miyazaki and I am a Japanese animator and director of spirited away 2 and etc.

      If you do animation so firstly you know what is animation

      You can say that the world of animation is imagination

      Definition : 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, many 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.

      Although there are many types of animation, but today after 2022 you are learning, then this is some type of animation. :

      1.)

      Traditional

      Animation.

      2.)

      2D

      Animation.

      3.) 3D Animation.

      4.) Motion Capture.

      5.) Motion Graphics.

      6.) Stop Motion. ( Traditional animation : )

      *Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century.[45] The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper.[46] To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels,[47] which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings.[48] The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted background by a rostrum

      camera onto motion picture film.[49]

      *The traditional cel animation process became obsolete by the beginning of the 21st century.

      Today, animators' drawings and the backgrounds are either scanned into or drawn directly into a computer system.[1][50] Various software programs are used to color the drawings and simulate camera movement and effects.[51] The final animated piece is output to one of several delivery media, including traditional 35 mm film and newer media with digital video.

      [52][1] The look of traditional cel animation is still preserved, and the character animators'

      work has remained essentially the same over the past 90 years.[43] Some animation producers have used the term tradigital (a play on the words traditional and digital) to describe cel animation that uses significant computer technology.

      *Examples of traditionally animated feature films include Pinocchio (United States, 1940),[53] Animal Farm (United Kingdom, 1954), Lucky and Zorba (Italy, 1998), and The Illusionist (British-French, 2010). Traditionally animated films produced with the aid of computer technology include The Lion King (US, 1994), The Prince of Egypt (US, 1998), Akira (Japan, 1988),[54] Spirited Away (Japan, 2001), The Triplets of Belleville (France, 2003), and The Secret of Kells (Irish-French-Belgian, 2009).

      * (Stop motion :) *

      Main article: Stop motion

      Stop-motion animation is used to describe animation created by physically manipulating real-world objects and photographing them one frame of film at a time to create the illusion of movement.[68] There are many different types of stop-motion animation, usually named after the medium used to create the animation.[69] Computer software is widely available to create this type of animation; traditional stop-motion animation is usually less expensive but more time-consuming to produce than current computer animation.[69]

      Puppet animation

      Typically involves stop-motion puppet figures interacting in a constructed environment, in contrast to real-world interaction in model animation.[70] The puppets generally have an armature inside of them to keep them still and steady to constrain their motion to particular joints.[71] Examples include The Tale of the Fox (France, 1937), The Nightmare Before Christmas (US, 1993), Corpse Bride (US, 2005), Coraline (US, 2009), the films of Jiří Trnka and the adult animated sketch-comedy television series Robot Chicken (US, 2005–present).

      Puppetoon

      Created using techniques developed by George Pal,[72] are puppet-animated films that typically use a different version of a puppet for different frames, rather than manipulating one existing puppet.[73]

      A clay animation scene from a Finnish television commercial Clay animation or Plasticine animation

      (Often called claymation, which, however, is a trademarked name). It uses figures made of clay or a similar malleable material to create stop-motion animation.[68][74] The figures may have an armature or wire frame inside, similar to the related puppet animation (below), that can be manipulated to pose the figures.[75] Alternatively, the figures may be made entirely of clay, in

      the films of Bruce Bickford, where clay creatures morph into a variety of different shapes.

      Examples of clay-animated works include The Gumby Show (US, 1957–1967), Mio Mao (Italy, 1974–2005), Morph shorts (UK, 1977–2000), Wallace and Gromit shorts (UK, as of 1989), Jan Švankmajer's Dimensions of Dialogue (Czechoslovakia, 1982), The Trap Door (UK, 1984).

      Films include Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Chicken Run and The Adventures of Mark Twain.[76]

      Strata-cut animation

      Most commonly a form of clay animation in which a long bread-like loaf of clay, internally packed tight and loaded with varying imagery, is sliced into thin sheets, with the animation camera taking a frame of the end of the loaf for each cut, eventually revealing the movement of the internal images within.[77]

      Cutout animation

      A type of stop-motion animation produced by moving two-dimensional pieces of material paper or cloth.[78] Examples include Terry Gilliam's animated sequences from Monty Python's Flying Circus (UK, 1969–1974); Fantastic Planet (France/Czechoslovakia, 1973); Tale of Tales

      (Russia, 1979), The pilot episode of the adult television sitcom series (and sometimes in episodes) of South Park (US, 1997) and the music video Live for the moment, from Verona Riots band (produced by Alberto Serrano and Nívola Uyá, Spain 2014).

      Silhouette animation

      A variant of cutout animation in which the characters are backlit and only visible as silhouettes.[79] Examples include The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Weimar Republic, 1926) and Princes et Princesses (France, 2000).

      Model animation

      Stop-motion animation created to interact with and exist as a part of a live-action world.[80]

      Intercutting, matte effects and split screens are often employed to blend stop-motion characters

      or objects with live actors and settings.[81] Examples include the work of Ray Harryhausen, as seen in films, Jason and the Argonauts (1963),[82] and the work of Willis H. O'Brien on films, King Kong (1933).

      Go motion

      A variant of model animation that uses various techniques to create motion blur between frames of film, which is not present in traditional stop motion.[83] The technique was invented by Industrial Light & Magic and Phil Tippett to create special effect scenes for the film Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980).[84] Another example is the dragon named Vermithrax from the 1981 film Dragonslayer.[85]

      Object animation

      The use of regular inanimate objects in stop-motion animation, as opposed to specially created items.[86]

      Graphic animation

      Uses non-drawn flat visual graphic material (photographs, newspaper clippings, magazines, etc.), which are sometimes manipulated frame by frame to create movement.[87] At other times, the graphics remain stationary, while the stop-motion camera is moved to create on-screen action.

      Brickfilm

      A subgenre of object animation involving using Lego or other similar brick toys to make an animation.[88][89] These have had a recent boost in popularity with the advent of video sharing sites,YouTubeandtheavailabilityofcheapcamerasandanimationsoftware.

      [citationneeded] Pixilation

      Involves the use of live humans as stop-motion characters.[90] This allows for a number
