Now that we have all been introduced to Animation, let us look a bit deeper in this
vast field. When speaking of Animation, the first term that we often come across is
2D which is for TWO DIMENSIONAL or 3D that is for THREE DIMENSIONAL.
For example, if we look at this piece of paper here, we can say that it is two
dimensional, that is 2D because practically, it only has a length and a width .
However, this Box is three dimensional because it has a length, a width and a depth
as well! So, this box is 3D.
Now in the context of Animation, objects that we work with in 2D animation are
merely flat, such as a picture or a photograph. Whereas in 3D animation objects are
like sculptures since they have a front, back, top and bottom.
Traditional Animation -
Traditional or Hand-drawn animation has its origins in the 19th century when the
folioscope and animated picture books called “flipbooks” were created. It makes use
of 2D hand-drawn frames. Therefore, the animator has to draw and colour each frame
manually. The original versions of many Disney films such as Jungle Book and The
Lion King were traditionally animated. It was also called Cel Animation because
animators used to place their drawings in chemical film sheets called cels, before
painting them. It’s only after the 1990’s that animators began digitally scanning
and colouring the animated frames, as the advancement in computers made the process
faster and easier.
Animation sounds like a whole new world filled with imagination and creativity....
isn't it!!
And we feel really happy that we will be touching these basic Five Types of
Animation, thanks to some of the best mentors in India who have graciously agreed
to take time out especially for this!!
So... Join us on the 12th and 13th September for Pixel Play, a fun-filled action-
packed animation workshop online, and let’s explore this new dimension in learning.
