CGI Animated Short HD: "Brain Divided" by Josiah Haworth, Joon Shik Song...

  Computer animation or CGI animation is the process used for generating animated images  by using computer graphics  The more general term computer imagery generation  encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images.

 modern computer animation  usually uses 3d computer graphics , although  2d computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film.

The howls moving castle

The howls moving castle

The effects on the film are really good they have  made it look really imaganitive
in the film they have used some good ideas for it and made it fun to watch with
how they have  used differnt effects on the film and how they animated the castle to
move, the way they have done it make it look really good.

 Grave of the fireflies

i didnt mind the film it wasnt great as there wasnt any talking in the film  which made it harder to   understand what was going on it was abit of a weird storyline, what made it looked an ame film was
the detalied clothing they use and the differnt features they use on the characters sucha eyes and hair.
the film have made it look realitsic when u watch it which is good as its more better to watch and makes it more interesting.

akiera

i enjoyed watching the film akiera it was interesting and fun to watch it was hard to understand the story at first but once you understand the story line its a good film. It was a good film to watch an was quite interesting how we had to try and underdstand what they were sayin as it was in a differnt laungage. some parts of the film there was alot of vilolence and fighting scences but were good and interesting to watch as the effect on on them were really good which made it more better as it made it look more realestic.

stop motion 
stop motion (which is also know as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of.




 
















claymation


Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay. clay animation, each object is sculpted in clay or a similarly pliable material such as plasticine, usually around a wire skeleton called an armature. As in other forms of object animation, the object is arranged on the set (background), a film frame is exposed, and the object or character is then moved slightly by hand.






This article is about the animation technique. For the graphics effect induced by enlarging a bitmap. For the image-editing technique of displaying part of an image at low resolution.Pixilation (from pixilated) is a stop motion technique where live actors are used as a frame-by-frame subject in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames. The actor becomes a kind of living stop motion puppet. This technique is often used as a way to blend live actors with animated ones in a movie, such as in The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb by the Bolex Brothers.







 



body movement One of the most important techniques in puppetry is continuous motion. A puppet that remains still has a dull, lifeless appearance and is said to be dead. Motion should shift from one portion of the puppet to another, so that one moment the puppet is moving its head and the next moment shifting its torso or repositioning an arm. basic positioning As with any stage performer, the puppet should generally face the audience; but may turn to one side or the other. There are times when a puppet does turn its back to an audience just like an actor. Puppets generally should look out towards an audience and not up at the ceiling unless they wish an audience to follow their line of vision. Generally a hand or glove puppet should talk a lot. rod puppetsA rod puppet is manipulated with wooden or wire rods. Rod puppets can sometimes have a complete working hinged mouth but many do not. A rod puppet can have a fixed facial expression. Arms are usually a requirement as rods are attached to them.





She mixed paint with glycerine to produce The Street, adapted from the short story of the same name by Mordechai Richler, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 49th Academy Awards.From 1981 until 1986 she worked on various live action documentary films. In 1986 she produced her first animation in nearly a decade by scratching on 70mm color film and reshooting it on 35mm. "Two Sisters" (1990) won the award for best short film at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 1991. In 2004 she co-directed "Suite for freedom" (her part was called "Slavery"). It was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2004.












Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films. Originally, recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device was eventually replaced by computers.
In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background.

  A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures. The termThe zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion.zoetrope is from the Greek words., "life" and , "turn". It may be taken to mean "wheel of life".

cel animation
A traditional form of animation used in the production of cartoons or animated movies where each frame of the scene is drawn by hand. A full-length feature film produced using cel animation would often require a million or more drawings to complete.
A cel is a sheet of transparent cellulose acetate used as a medium for painting animation frames. It is transparent so that it can be laid over other cels and/or a painted background, then photographed.

drawn on film

Drawn on film animation, also known as animation without camera, is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock, as to any other form of animation where the images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation camera.On blank film the artist can draw, paint, stamp, or even glue or tape objects. Black film can be scratched, etched, sanded, or punched. Any tool the artist finds useful may be used for this, and all techniques can be combined endlessly.

 painting film 

Drawn-on-film animation, also known as direct animation or animation without camera, is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock , as opposed to any other form of animation where the images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation cameraThere are two basic methods to produce animation directly on film. One starts with blank film stock, the other one with black (already developed) film. On blank film the artist can draw, paint, stamp, or even glue or tape objects. Black film (or any footage) can be scratched, etched, sanded, or punched. Any tool the artist finds useful may be used for this, and all techniques can be combined endlessly.

invention: phenakistoscope
date of invention: 1832


 The phenakistoscope uses the persistence of motion principle to create an illusion of motion.  Although this principle had been recognized by the Greek mathematician Euclid and later in experiments by Newton, it was not until 1829 that this principle became firmly established by Joseph Plateau.

Name of animator/inventor: Paul Roget
Invention: Thaumatrope
Date of Invention: 1828

The thaumatrope is among the simplest of the "persistence of vision" toys that were introduced in the early 19th century. In its basic form it is a card with a different picture on each surface and string attached to each side. When the string is wound up then released the card spins rapidly merging the two pictures together. Less common were examples like the mechanical toy below where two images of different phases of a movement caused the image to move.
