Optical Toys
A thaumatrope is a toy that was popular in the 19th century. A disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one due to the persistence of vision.
The phenakistoscope was an early animation device that used a spinning disk of sequential images and the persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion.
A zoetrope is one of several pre-film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion.
The image below shows what I drew in order to make the animation.
Cell
an example of cell animation techniques
Generally, the characters are drawn on cells and laid over a static background drawing.
The video below shows what I have accomplished when morphing using onion skinning.
Keyframe
simple walking animation using the key frame technique..
A key frame in animation and film making is a drawing that defines the starting and ending points of any smooth transition.
a quick animation that I made when using the key frame technique.
Video
The picture or video is filtered with a different color or shade, for example the image above shows what filters are available when editing the picture.
The video below shows what I have been able to do when picking a filter for the video
Stop-Motion
Stop motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object or persona 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.
The video above shows what we did as a class when making a stop motion animation. We first stood still when the picture was taken then moved again whilst another picture was taken, and so on until we got the stop motion.
