Document Summary

Week 3: semiology and an introduction to the. Create series of images by shooting one frame at a time. 1910: animations drawn on clear rectangular sheets of celluloid, named cels. Characters and objects drawn on different cels, then photographed together. Full animation: render figures in detail and supplies them with tiny, unrepetitive movements. Limited animation: only small sections of image move frame to frame. Animation can be created without photography, images drawn, scratched or attached onto film. Cut-out: flat 2d images with movable joints, cut-out images moved frame to frame to created moving collage, combining flat shapes of paper and other materials to create pictures of patterns. Clay animation (claymation): modeling clay or plasticine is used to create objects or characters, animator bends/twists/stretches them slightly between exposures. Model or puppet animation: using figures with bendable wires or joints in a pose for an expose of one frame then moves slightly then freezes, results in a jerky, unnatural movement.
