Computer animations are gaining popularity in movies and television. Traditional animation will undoubtedly continue to play a significant part in animation for many years to come. Apart from being faster and more cost efficient, computer animation offers several additional advantages. Because it is software-based, this streamlines the animation toolkit. Traditional animation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The finished product involves many people and is fully handmade. In comparison to traditional animation, where errors are common and can have a substantial influence on the final product, computer animation enables more rapid and precise fixes. Another advantage of computer animation is its superior ability to represent motion. For instance, an edge loop is a collection of overlapping edges that facilitates movement. This approach enables the creation of fluid and organic movements.
Computer animation has several benefits and drawbacks. Additionally, computer animation is constrained by several factors. The animator is bound by the gear’s capabilities. As a result, the animation may be limited. On the other hand, traditional animation has less constraints on creativity because it is mostly done by hand and hence requires less technology. Another disadvantage is that, because computer animation is entirely dependent on software, expressions may not be conveyed as easily or as convincingly as they are with conventional animation.
People have known since the beginning of photography that photographs of a moving object captured in quick succession may be flipped through sequentially to create the illusion of a moving image. The use of animation has been around for a long time. Animation, such as cartoons and films, was made in black and white in the early 1900s. Backgrounds and cartoon graphics are limited to a bare minimum. Animation technology has come a long way from the early days of hand-drawn cartoons. The tools have improved. The term ‘animation’ refers to a visual representation of drawings that includes movement. A series of drawings is related and frequently photographed. When seen in rapid succession, the drawings have been discreetly adjusted between each frame to give the appearance of continuous movement inside the artwork.
Before 1910, the earliest animations were made from primitive drawings that were filmed one by one. It took a lot of time and effort because each minute of the film required hundreds of drawings. Animators used to use a technique called stop action animation. Before resuming the camera, the director adjusted, eliminated, or added objects to the shot while it was paused. This approach was used in live-action films such as Trick Plays. Flat animation was significantly more efficient for American firms’ ‘assembly-line techniques’ of generating animated films, therefore they swiftly abandoned dimensional animation in favor of flat animation. Consider Gumby (a three-dimensional character) vs Tweety Bird (a two-dimensional character). The invention of celluloid in 1913 eased the administration of animation. Rather than making many drawings, the animator may now build a complex backdrop or foreground and compress moving figures between numerous extra pieces of transparent celluloid, except where drawings are painted. It was no longer necessary to build the backdrop on a regular basis because it remained static and only the characters moved. It also gave the impression of depth, especially when foreground elements were framed. Emile Cohl and Winsor McCay, among others, created the first animated cartoon in 1910. The animation timeline then accelerates, with many films made over the next two decades, Winsor McCay’s Gertie the Dinosaur, premiered in commercial cinema theatres in 1914, is a landmark during this period. Warner Bros., MGM, and Disney Studios pioneered cartoon techniques in the 1920s and 1930s, creating complex cartoons by building ornate backgrounds and then superimposing animated figures on top of them using celluloid, a transparent film. With the introduction of sound in 1928 and the release of the first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1937, Walt Disney catapulted animation to new heights.
Animated films have risen in popularity as a form of entertainment since Disney’s 1937 release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Films like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King have all been developed, produced, and distributed by Disney. These legendary animated feature films’ stories and characters have been engrained in our modern culture, with each generation loving them. These popular animated feature films have traditionally been created utilizing the difficult and time-consuming two-dimensional, hand-drawn cell animation approach. Cels (translucent cellulose acetate sheets used to paint animation frames) are no longer often utilized in animation nowadays. It may be photographed over other celluloids and/or a painted background because it is transparent. Cel animation is a time-consuming technique that demands meticulous preparation and attention to detail. The animation approach used now is more successful and significantly reliant on contemporary computer technologies.
Without the advancements in computer technology, remarkable animated films would not have been conceivable. On the other hand, computer technology is not a novel concept. Disney’s amazing works such as Toy Story, Madagascar, Finding Nemo, and Up would not have been achieved without the use of computer technology. Previously, animators worked hard to create a tiny video, but today everything is computerized, and one can readily observe the progress of animation, how dramatically it has developed and carved out a unique niche for itself in the industry. Computer animation revolutionized the animated picture business , according to Buffy Naillon. Today’s animation is more reliant on mathematical formulae than on the skill to draw .
Consistent with PIXAR’s ‘four-stage process’, which includes development (which involves generating a plot), pre-production (which involves solving technological obstacles), production (which involves creating the film) and post-production (which involves ‘polishing’ the final product), today’s animation is extremely effective. It is a multi-step process that begins with the development of the film’s concept, continues with the creation of a story line, continues with pre-production and the resolution of all technical challenges, continues with production and the making of the film, and concludes with final changes and polishing.
We now have three-dimensional animated films that give the appearance of more realism. Everyone nowadays appreciates animated films. The stories are stunningly beautiful, yet they are also clear. Furthermore, the quality of animated films now is superior to that of previous generations. Smooth transitions between layouts are visible when animated films are watched in rapid succession. Seeing how animation techniques and approaches have evolved over time reveals how the process has evolved and continues to develop and add to the aesthetic of the media being produced.
