    The document provides an introduction to animation, including definitions, types of animation, its uses, and how a thaumatrope works. It discusses the animation principle demonstrated by a thaumatrope, in which two drawings are placed on opposite sides of a card attached to string and spun quickly to blend the images and create the illusion of motion. Common to all animation techniques explored is that they create the illusion of movement by displaying a series of images in rapid sequence, and rely on the persistence of vision principle whereby the human eye retains images briefly after they are seen.

    EXPLORING ANIMATION INTRODUCTION

    What is animation? Write down your own definition of the term.

    Animation to me is simply the process of creating an image by hand and then turning into a video
    through technology. Its hasn’t always been technology based of course, Lotte reniger is the
    reason we have movies and games, but she had to do things the old-fashioned way.

    Make a list of all the different types of animation you can think of?

    2d animation

    3d animation

    CGI (computer generated image)

    Stop motion

    Motion graphics

    Make a list of what you think animation is used for today.

    Films

    Games

    Documentaries

    Adverts

    Test plans

    How does a thaumatrope work? Which animation principle can we see in action here?

    EXPLORING ANIMATION
    You get two pieces of string and attach a small piece of card to them. You draw an image on one
    side and on the other side draw a image to match that one. They have to be perfectly aligned. A
    bird cage is a common one you will see, draw the cage on one side and then the bird. If you hold
    the two pieces of string and flip the card around fast, you will only see one image despite the fact
    that you drew two.

    How well did your thaumatrope work? Explain what could have improved its effect.

    My one wasn’t great mostly because of my lack of skill when it comes to drawing things. I drew a
    circle on one side and eyes and a mouth on the other to make a face, but I failed to align them
    properly, so I ended up seeing two images when I was flipping the card. If I ever need to do this
    again, I will take more care and see to it then they line up perfectly.

    We have now looked at a whole range of animation techniques. Explain the two animation
    principles they have in common.
