Animation

History of Animation

You see stop motion animation all the time—in commercials, music videos, television shows and feature films—even if you don’t realize it. While it is common for people to think of stop motion as just one specific style, such as clay animation, the reality is that stop motion techniques can be used to create a wide range of film styles

1930′s - 1950′s: The Golden Age of Animation

At this point of time, animations have became an important part of pop culture. During this era, we see the rise of Walt Disney, The Warner Brothers, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Fleischer.

The Warner Brothers:

The Warner Brothers were a group of 4 brothers, Albert, Sam, Harry and Jack. They started off as travelling exhibitors showing motion pictures across the Ohio and Pennsylvania with their portable projector. By 1907 they operated in a converted store, bothers Albert and Harry were selling tickets, whilst Sam operated the hand crank and Jack sang during the intermissions.

In 1931 the Warner Bros. produced the animated cartoon series ‘Merrie Melodies’ featuring characters from the sister series ‘The Looney Tunes’ who have been ingrained into pop culture.

Walt Disney:

Founded in 1923 in Los Angeles, California the Disney brothers produced a series called the ‘Alice Comedies’ which were live action.

In 1937, Disney created their first full length animated feature, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

1960′s - 1980′s: The Television Era

The Television became the new medium of consuming entertainment, the animation industry started to adapt to this new medium. Studios created these animations using a ‘limited animation’ style. Cable channels like Nickolodeon helped cartoons be everywhere on television.

1980′s - Present: The Modern Era

The next step on the journey of animation is through ‘Computer Generated Imagery’ or CGI for short. 3 dimensional models replaced the drawing from the animation, CGI is essentially virtual stop motion.

In 1984, The Graphics Group (currently known as Pixar) created the first fully CGI animated short film ‘The Adventures of Andre and Wally B’. 11 years after Pixar released Toy Story, the first fully CGI feature film.

Different types of animation:

-- Traditional animation or Classical 2D animation :

Traditional animation involved animators drawing by hand for each and every frame. If you love the feel of pencils on a paper, then the traditional approach is very fascinating. Traditional animation is creating the drawings one by one on the frame. 2D animation involves creating numerous drawings then feeding into a plastic cells, hand painting them and create the animated sequence on a painted background image. Traditional Animation Movies : Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Peter Pan, and Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin

-- Digital 2D animation:

This animation process has been done for over 100 years. Although Walt Disney is often credited with making 2D animation with Mickey Mouse, he was not the first person to create a 2D animation. The first 2D animation ever made was called Fantasmagorie, a short cartoon made by Emile Cohl. 

Creating animations in the 2 dimensional space with the help of digital technologies is known as digital 2d animation. You don’t need to create digital models, you just need to draw the frames. Create 100s of drawing and animating them to show some kind of movement is technically known as digital 2d animation. Using Adobe flash, animators can limit the number of drawings used, which makes them easier to create digital 2d animation. Small variations like changing the color or frame rate can be changed almost instantly, thus making it easier for the animators to work on.

Post- production is the last stage of animations, this stage includes visual editing such as after effects,glows,blurs and colour saturated and rendering the final output, however even after this its still not finished there still music and sound effects to be added.

The characteristics of 2d animation can include cut out animation and papermation, this is an effective technique as it is very simple and easy to do and complete. cut out animation is very productive as they can be easily moved and changed to create a stop motion project.

-- Digital 3D animation:

Animation has largely come to be dominated by CGI, or computer-generated imagery. While some computer animation also is created frame by frame by hand (or mouse), the vast majority is made using 3-D models, which are posed across a series of frames and rendered.

Digital 3d animation characters are much faster to create and they are quite popular in the movie making industry. Using a computer software 3d animated images are used to create many short films, full length movies and even TV commercials and a career in digital 3d animation is highly rewarding. Comparing to 2D animation and the traditional approach, 3d animation models are highly realistic. 3D animation has definitely revolutionized how the animation industry looks today, and it all started in 1995 with Toy Story, directed by John Lassetter. Computer generated animation wasn’t completely new at the time, since it had already been used in TV commercials, movies and computer games, but Toy Story set the bar by being the first feature-length computer animated film, re-imagining the animation industry. 3D animation also lead to studios trying to achieve photo-realistic animations by combining high-level computer processing with advance motion-capture. This has led to films such as The Lord of the Rings  and Planet of the Apes.

-- Stop-motion animation:

Stop motion was first invented in 1898, the animation is credited to J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith as they created The Humpty Dumpty Circus.  Stop motion is an animation technique that uses objects moved in small increments between photographed frames, which create the illusion of movement when you place the series of frames continuously. It's important because it offers more creativity in video production.

 Using frame by frame animation, physical static objects are moved around and during the post production it is shown in a fluid movement. Stop motion animation has been around ever since the evolution of puppets. There were many movies created using the stop motion method, some of the finest examples are “Fun in a bakery shop” created in 1902.Edwin Porter directed "The Teddy Bears," which was one of the earliest stop-motion animation films. The movie is a short sequence of playing teddy bears, just over a minute in length, which took over 50 hours to animate.

The processes of stop motion include taking many pictures of a scene, object, or cutout and then using editing software cutting and piecing together all the pictures and then once this is in timeline order you change the timings to no delay, the pictures then play in a rapid motion to make the video look smooth and runs like a flowing video this is done in the post production stages but in reality there just hundreds or thousands of pictures. this is very effective technique in animating however it is a very time consuming and could get tricky as if the camera or objects move slightly the smooth flow will be disrupted.

The characteristics of stop motion include puppetry animation and clayamtion, this involves using puppets and clay to create objects for stop motion, for example puppets are an effective way to get expression and emotions across to the audience rather than using cut outs and still objects. emotions such as sadness can be displayed by the puppet by bowing their heads or body, sound effects can be added later to enhance the emotion.

Another technique, which came about in the 80’s, was Go Motion. This technique involved programming a computer to move the models for the animators before each frame was photographed. It was used when creating visual effects for RoboCop (1987, Verhoven) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980, Kershner). It was a lot more complicated than doing it by hand, but the result was a more realistic-looking animation.

Stop-motion set the standards fir visual effects with masters like Ray Harryhausen, who created animations for Jason and the Argonauts (1963, Chaffey) and Clash of the Titans (1981, Davis), or Nick Park who created the Wallace and Gromit franchise. However, stop-motion wasn’t always made for shorts and visual effects. 

-- Pixelation:

Pixelation is a form of stop motion that uses real people and real environments to create unreal videos. It uses the stop motion method of taking a still photo, moving things around, and then taking another photo, but the subject matter is usually real people instead of puppets.

The processes of pixelation consists of the same processors as stop motion does, however without using cutouts or different objects it tends to be real life persons, this is an effective technique as you can express movement and emotion very well and easily compared to using clay models or puppets.

-- Mechanical Animation:

Instead of robotics, machines can be animated by using the mechanical animation technique. Instead of creating the original machine, creating these mechanical animations, allows the animator to understand how the machine works. Explaining the functionality of these machines is quite easy through this kind of animation technique. 

-- Puppetry Animation:

Puppetry animation is created using the life like puppets instead of objects. The film ‘The Humpty Dumpty Circus’ (1908) created by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert smith receives credit as the first stop-motion animation film that features puppets. Nowadays puppet animation is most commonly used in children’s cartoons and films. An example of puppet animation used in cinema is in the film King Kong (1933).The Nightmare before Christmas (1993) is an American stop motion musical fantasy horror film directed by Henry Selick. It used 227 puppets to represent the characters in the film and also 400 heads were used to allow the expression for every possible emotion.

-- Cut-out animation:

Cut – Out animation is probably one of the oldest forms of stop motion animations in the history of animation. The first cut-out animation was created by LotteReiniger in 1926, She used quite detailed paper silhouettes to convey a beautiful story. In this method paper cut outs are moved under the camera lens to say a story. Ever since the evolution of computers, it was much easier to introduce the computerized cut images in a queue. An example of this of what i can think of would be charlie and Lola a show I used to watch when I was little, and as the cut-out animation was so professional done i can still remember the show to this day.

-- Clay animation or Claymation:

This is the oldest surviving claymation film – from 1926 and it's awesome! Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. ... Clay-animated films were produced in the United States as early as 1908, when Edison Manufacturing released a trick film entitled The Sculptor's Welsh Rarebit Dream.

If you like to play with clay then this is of the best forms of stop motion created in Clay-mation. In this Clay-mation, pieces of clay are moulded to create characters and based on the imagination of the animator, a story is unfolded. There are oil based and water based clays available. Sometimes the clay is moulded into free forms or filled up in a wire like structure called armature. The animated characters are kept in a set and with only short movements, the whole scene is film.

-- Zoe trope Animation:

A Short History of the Phenakistoscope. The optical toy, the phenakistoscope, was an early animation device that used the persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion. It was invented by Joseph Plateau in 1841.The phenakistoscope used a spinning disc attached vertically to a handle.

The Zoe trope is one of several animation toys which were invented in the 19th century, as people experimented with ways to make moving pictures. It was invented in 1834 by William George Horner, and is one of the early forms of animations. Some still images are drawn on a drum and when turned in a circular way, you have an illusion of movement. The visual effect created by a zoetrope is still used today to create animated GIFs.

How to make stop motion animations:

To make stop motion animations you don’t need a lot of equipment, just some props to create your story and a camera, it does take a lot of time but the end product is worth it. take the pictures and move the props however you want to create your story then import them into a video editing software and then start to piece together and do any bit of tweaking later on.

Examples of where used:

Entertainment

Stop motion was used in this video as the creator took over 27,000 pictures and it took over 53 hours to make just for 12 minute clip of a shark attack, you can tell this is stop motion as there is an almost staggered flow through out as it transitions to thousands of different clips to create a steady flow but i can never be as steady as a regular 2D/3D animation.

Advertisement 

Animation was used in the 2018 Christmas advert for Argos they animated little “Christmas fools” into their advert that are just a pain to deal with. the animation works very well as the actors in the video go along as if they was actually there and not CGI in at a later point in the editing stage.

This is an effective technique as using animation to draw the customers attention to the product your trying to sell and advertise is good as instead of a poster or leaflet the animated advert can be moving and can add a lot more information to the product overall increase the customers interest in buying the product. 

Information:

Animation is also used to get important information across to different age groups such as this chnage4life information video is targeting health related disease to unhealthy eating, and as they want us to make a change for life they will be targeting the lower age groups as they are the ones that are easily inspired and will make the change and as its a animated cartoon they would automatically be drawn to it.

Music video:

Animation can also be used in music videos to show what the artist is either saying in the lyrics or implying, in this example the music video implies all the complexity's in relationships however if you didn't watch the video it would come across as a whole different meaning, basically the animation puts context to the things he is saying
