Chapter 1

1.1 Introduction
Animation has survived the mechanical persistence of vision toys popular in the 19th century; found expression as an art form in cinema; it was the means by which to experiment with time-based art and cinematic forms to present new visual vocabularies; it was brilliantly positioned to pioneer the use of computers to create moving images from numbers; it has demystified complex processes; visualised scientific phenomena and provided simulation models to help us understand the world; it has become an essential ingredient in multimedia content; it is imbedded in the control interface display of multi-million dollar jet fighter planes, it is integral to the computer games industry; it increasingly underpins all special effects in motion picture production; and it has provided content in an ideal form to distribute across a bandwidth poor networked environment. Animation is an art form which can come from anywhere and which can go to anywhere - from a large production team working in a highly specialised studio or a lone individual working out of a bedroom, to an Imax Cinema screen several metres wide or a mobile phone screen a few centimetres across.
Just what is computer animation? For decades, animation has been a trade that rested solely in the hands of the entertainment industry; the process required a great deal of time, manpower, and complex equipment to accomplish. However, with the ever-growing movement to computerize the industry, the animation process has become progressively simpler. What was once done with pencils, cels, and paint by a team

    In this analysis paper, I will be looking at the animated film “The Cameraman’s Revenge” by Ladislaw Starewicz. While the majority of animators during and before his time worked on two dimensional animated films, Starewicz stepped off the beaten path and instead chose to implement his taxidermied insects in his animations; that alone made this film unique and fascinating for me to watch. Watching the film was a surreal experience with my knowledge of how innovative this form of animation was for its time, as well as how real it surely looked to audiences back then.…

    In this analysis paper, I will be looking at the animated Warner Brothers short “Duck Amuck” by Chuck Jones. Jones was a well known and admired animator, producer, storyboard writer, and director for Warner Brothers Cartoon Studios, most remembered for his work with Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts. Not only this, but Jones is also recognized as the animator that developed Bugs Bunny’s personality and the personalities of many other beloved characters and made them the celebrated animated legends they are today. He also introduced the use of color smudging - a technique very useful in animating motion - while experimenting with different techniques applicable to animation. However, in “Duck Amuck”, he works more with concepts than techniques.…

    In this dissertation, I intend to explore how East European drawing and animation styles can be successfully incorporated into Western cinema, as there have not been too many animations or live-action movies that liberate themselves from the conventions of Hollywood. The ones that do subvert Hollywood conventions may either stand out with praise from critics or alienate the audience. This dissertation will examine a few of the most influential European animation artists, including Pyetrovich Ivanov–Vano, a Soviet animator and Russian animation director, sometimes called the "patriarch of Soviet animation"; and Lev Konstantinovich Atamanov, one of the foremost Soviet animation film directors and one of the founders of Soviet animation art. I will be discussing how these animators ' artistic styles translate into animations different to what Western culture is used to seeing and how this difference enriches the look and feel of the characters and landscape and how this different look can add to or take away from the storytelling of the animation.…

    CGI gave the production of science-fiction movies the possibility to have a realistic feel. The significant differences between CGI and classical hand-drawn animations are not only the obvious; one being done by computer and one is on paper. The biggest difference is time efficiency and believability. A computer-generated image can be done one of two ways: a picture that is hand-drawn and then scanned into a computer or an entirely computer produced image, with a software specially designed for computer made imagery (Abbott, Pg. 91). After this step computer animators can move images around in one thousandth of the time it would take to move a hand-drawn image. Hypothetically meaning that if a hand-drawn scene took you twenty-four hours to move images around, with a CGI it would take twenty-four seconds. That changes the entire playing field when it comes to filmmaking. The ability to go in and out of scenes and move the image or objects not wanted, without distorting the background or surrounding images, is a step that has made CGI animator friendly. The images and…

    For example, in more recent years, the Disney Company has transitioned from the old animation technique that included hand-drawn frames, featured in classic movies such as Cinderella and The Lion King, to new 3D, computer generated pictures, such as those seen in Toy Story and Frozen. This new encounter of animation has created a whole new world when it comes to this art. Now, artists are able to save time because don’t have to be as precise when it comes to drawing characters absolutely perfect every time it is on paper. Having it on the computer is also helpful in allowing animators to experiment more with their characters and see different, more realistic ways in which they can move. In addition to having encounters with technology, new encounters with people are also extremely helpful as well when it comes to animation.…

Dantès started to evolve and change when he was sent to the Châtaeu D’If, so I started my video by describing what Dantès was like before he was sent to prison. For the video, I used both words and pictures to show how Dantès changes throughout the story.…
