Motion Graphics
This involves creating animation or moving graphic design. It is widely used in advertising, web development, and music videos.
Stop Motion Animation
Photographing real objects in small increments and displaying them in rapid succession creates the illusion of movement. Example uses include 'Wallace & Gromit' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.
Traditional Animation
Also known as cel animation, this type of animation involves hand-drawing each frame. Example uses include classic Disney movies like 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'.
2D Vector-Based Animation
This animation uses computer-generated images where the elements are manipulated based on vectors rather than pixels. Example uses include web animations and games like 'Flash' animations.
Rotoscoping
An animator traces over live-action footage frame by frame for use in animated films. It can be used to create realistic action sequences in movies like 'A Scanner Darkly'.
Cut-out Animation
This technique involves moving two-dimensional pieces like paper or cloth. Films such as 'South Park' have used this method, although now it is often done digitally.
Puppet Animation
Puppets are used in a stop-motion technique that can provide a sense of realism and weight. 'Coraline' is an example of this animation type.
3D Computer Animation
3D animation creates moving images in a digital environment that is three-dimensional. Movies like 'Toy Story' or 'Avatar' employed this type of animation extensively.
Claymation
A form of stop motion animation where each animated piece, typically made of clay, is deformed by hand between frames. An example use is the 'Chicken Run' movie.
Computer Assisted Animation
This animation combines traditional animation techniques with computer technology, which can involve scanning hand-drawn images or using tablets for drawing directly into a computer. Example uses are some modern cartoons and online animations.
