The Fundamental Principles of Animation

Related papers

ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising,

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a range of animation principles that the authors believe may be used to predict audience eye movements and responses, and to propose how a combination of practice-based and empirical research could lead to an enhanced understanding of how to create animated cues to allocate viewer attention. These insights inform the prediction of attention in deictic gaze cuing contexts where the convergence of motion stimulus, agent presence, and facial and gestural cuing has the potential to create an engaging interactive experience and long term affiliation.

The evolution of animated movement at the Disney studio during the 1930s is pivotal to the formalization of believable and authentic movement parameters. During this era, a core team of animators began to experiment with animated movement. As reported by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston in The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation (1981), Walt Disney pushed the animators to develop their skills and create a more physically believable animated world. Gradually, a terminology, or language of animated movement evolved, which became known as the Principles of Animation (Johnston & Thomas, 1981). As these precepts are widely known and can be referenced in The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation, I will briefly paraphrase them here and apply them in context throughout this chapter.

Continental Philosophy Review, 2009

As its title indicates, this article shows animation to be the fundamental, essential, and properly descriptive concept to understandings of animate life. A critical and constructive path is taken toward an illumination of these threefold dimensions of animation. The article is critical in its attention to a central linguistic formulation in cognitive neuroscience, namely, enaction; it is constructive in setting forth an analysis of affectivity as exemplar of a staple of animate life, elucidating its biological and existential foundations in animation.

EUROGRAPHCIS 2015 - Education Track, 2015

This paper borrows from the fields of classic animation and 3D animation and adapts the fundamental principles of these subjects to a lecturing context. An analogy is drawn between an animator and a lecturer due to their shared objective: to communicate in an engaging way. If the fundamental principles of animation are read under the point of view of how they communicate a message, it is not difficult to see that they summarise some of the key concepts in the fields of education and educational psychology. Once adapted the principles can be used as a guideline by novice and experienced lecturers to increase students’ engagement both in traditional lectures and in e-learning environments. The principles have been applied successfully in teaching the Programming for 3D module and a number of modules at University of Sussex obtaining good feedback from students.

Graphics have been used since ancient times to portray things that are inherently spatiovisual, like maps and building plans. More recently, graphics have been used to portray things that are metaphorically spatiovisual, like graphs and organizational charts. The assumption is that graphics can facilitate comprehension, learning, memory, communication and inference. Assumptions aside, research on static graphics has shown that only carefully designed and appropriate graphics prove to be beneficial for conveying complex systems. Effective graphics conform to the Congruence Principle according to which the content and format of the graphic should correspond to the content and format of the concepts to be conveyed. From this, it follows that animated graphics should be effective in portraying change over time. Yet the research on the efficacy of animated over static graphics is not encouraging. In cases where animated graphics seem superior to static ones, scrutiny reveals lack of equivalence between animated and static graphics in content or procedures; the animated graphics convey more information or involve interactivity. Animations of events may be ineffective because animations violate the second principle of good graphics, the Apprehension Principle, according to which graphics should be accurately perceived and appropriately conceived. Animations are often too complex or too fast to be accurately perceived. Moreover, many continuous events are conceived of as sequences of discrete steps. Judicious use of interactivity may overcome both these disadvantages. Animations may be more effective than comparable static graphics in situations other than conveying complex systems, for example, for real time reorientations in time and space. #

This paper investigates the difference between seeing and perceiving in animation. It analyses character design in the light of experiments in face recognition, in particular how iconic a character can be in design. It discusses whether a universal theory can be applied and if caricatures are really ‘super-portraits’ that echo how brains recall faces. The psychophysical perception of motion in animation is analysed in the light of animation principles such as ‘squash and stretch’ and ‘isolation’. Using made and found examples, the paper looks at how signature movement and animation principles are now being supplemented or even supplanted by motion capture and posits what this means for animation in the future. The paper maps popular animation characters within two specially designed triangular charts for image and for motion. It analyses the resulting images in terms of perceived and received information, looking particularly at the region of empathic connection coined by Dr Masahiro Mori as the ‘Uncanny Valley’. [1] By examining the different empathic demands motion capture makes on an audience it reaches the conclusion that both image and motion must be treated symbiotically for full analysis to be achieved.

We call on world leaders: To drastically increase assistance to Ukraine. Ukraine must win, not just ‘not lose’. Timely aid will reduce the loss of human lives and help drive out the aggressor from the Ukrainian soil. Putin’s loss in the act of military aggression will be viewed as a moral win for millions of Russians, emboldening their hopes for a democratic future and mobilizing their anti-war movement. To uphold human rights and support democratic opposition in Russia. The global community must unite to protect political prisoners currently undergoing torture in Russia. The lives of opposition leaders Vladimir Kara-Murza, Ilya Yashin, Lilia Chanysheva, and many others are in imminent danger. To enhance support for Russian citizens who face the risk of repression due to their democratic and anti-war political beliefs and require asylum. To back Russian democratic anti-Putin organizations, which includes supporting independent Russian media, whose role in driving regime change is critical. To delegitimize Putin’s illegal hold on power in Russia. Despite its propaganda, Putin’s regime desperately seeks acknowledgment from the global community. Refusing to acknowledge Putin’s reelection by world leaders will send a powerful message that the world can no longer consider him a ‘partner’.
