In our previous article, we understand what animation actually stands for. We covered the types and careers in animation as well. If you haven’t read yet then go through the previous one as here we will discuss the working of animation.
The animation is all about the visual illusion. The number of frames or still images are presented in a quick sequence where the watcher interprets them as an endless moving image. It is also an equivalent principle that permits live-action film making and projection to figure.
You can either animate with the traditional way or digital way. Each frame is supposed to be drawn by hand in the traditional way. Rough sketches are drawn on a paper following the clean lines and vibrant colors. To discover the motion while drawing, an artist could usually flip in between.
Now, the artist prefers to draw on computer tablets with digital pens as they sense the ease of drawing as compared to the traditional way. The term 2D rigged animation is alike but instead of making a replacement drawing, each part of the frame is drawn and assembled to move its pivot points. To pose the character, the animator rotates and stretches those pieces or might swap them out for the brand new character.
Animating with the stop-motion method means capturing each pose on a camera. To see the character movement, those pictures playbacks within the sequence. Stop-motion marionette can bend and twist as they are made with flexible armatures underneath like metal wires.
Armatures are also used in computer-generated animation. Character is sculpted from a mesh of squares to be fully 3D and to have digital joints. The controllers grant animators to rotate each joint and tweening fills within the movement between poses.
Motion-graphs makes the actions fine-tuned that adjusts direction and speed. Thus, we understand that there are plenty of techniques that an artist can use and makes cartoons or animation on their own.
