INI100H1 Lecture Notes - Grater, Stop Motion, Traditional Animation
Document Summary
Animation process is different from live-action film. A trip to the moon (georges melies, 1902) transcends the limits of real life. Exploits medium specific techniques to add to fantasy superimposition, stop-motion. Characterized by at least one of two attributes: presentation of imagery that has no real world status beyond the filmic universe. Imagery is drawn directly on celluloid in cel animation. Layers put on to form image, once composed then photography is used. Production of worlds with 3d objects and figures: the creation of movement through a succession of individual static images. In live-action, things are recorded in real life; has continuity. Animation can put things into motion through stop motion. All cinema is predicated on the illusion of movement. Difference between live action and animation is that there is no movement in the first place with animation. What happens between each frame is more important than what is on the frame.
