The history of animation

 

You have probably seen some great computer-animatted movies, like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, or Frozen, Computer animation has become the norm in todays world but animation has been around for over oone hundred yrears. It has changed a log over time. How was it done before computers were invented.

Early animations were created by hand, At the beginning of the 10999s, Winsor McCay, who is considered the father of animation. worked alone and animated his films by himself. He drew every picture separatedly and had them phorographed, one at a time, Hundreds of photographs were needed to make a one-minute film. It took him more than a year and 10000drwwings to create a five-minute animation called Gertie the Dinasaur. It waw shown to audiences in therters in 1914.

After celluloid ( a transparetnt material) was developed, animation became easier. Instad of drawing each picuture separately, the animator could make a drawing of the background, which remained motionsless while only the characters moved.

Walt Disney, the createor of Mickey Mouse, took aninmaiton to a new level. He added sound and music to his movies and produced the first full-length animated file, Snow White and the server Dwarfs. Many people thins he was a grate animator, but he wasn't. INstead, he worked mainly as a storey editor. He was also a clever businessman who had other artists do most of the drawings.

Toy Story, which came out in 1995, was the first computer-animated film, Computer animation was also used for special effects in movies such as Star Wars and Avatar. If you've seen Lift of Pi, you many be surprised to learn that the tiger was done by animation. To create the illusion of movement in these files, and image was put on the ccomputer and then quickly relaced by a ssimular mimage with a small change. While this tiechnique is similar to hand-draw animation, the work can be ddone much faster on the computer. In fact, anyone with a home computer and special software can create a simple animation.
