In this post, you’ll get to know everything about animation. First, you need to know what is animation?
The word “Animation” is made of (ANIME + ACTION) so ANIME means it contains drawings and action which means the process of making a film with drawings and pictures. So the animation is the process of making an illusion film through photos, figures, and drawings. Or we can say any art that converted into a movement. In simple words, the animation is actually creating a virtual thing approach to movement in any way that is appropriate.
Today the animation can be done through computer software, and it is a little bit simple as traditional animation. In traditional animation figures and pictures are painted on transparent sheets which were photographed and converted into the illusion. Early cartoons are the best example of animation. Today, animation is mostly seen in video games, TV, serials, movies and so more… These are made with CGI(computer-generated imaginary)
Types of animation
Traditional animation
So, what is traditional animation? People even call it 2D animation but we have categorized 2D animation separately because in this form of animation animator has to draw every single drawing in a very specific order to create moving animation.
2D animation
I know you heard about it many times but what exactly a 2D animation is?
2D animation is a type of animation in which objects appear in motion in a 2D frame. It is a very famous type of animation in which the motion appears in a very presentative way. The main difference between 2D animation and traditional animation is that in traditional animation, animators need to draw each and every frame and here in 2D animation, animators have the choice of creating rigs for the graphics they made instead of drawing it again and again.
3D animation
3D animation is one of the best types of animation which is used widely all over the world. Whether it is a talk about cartoons or promotions, 3D animation has been the hero of all types of videos for a long time. But if I say that what is the exact definition of 3D animation then what would you say? Let me tell you. 3D animation is popularly known as computer animation. By using 3D animation, we can create graphics in a very effective and attractive way.
We can also compare 3D animation with puppets so rather than drawing every frame, we use to move the characters in a three-dimensional way to control each and every part of the character. 3D animators need to focus on each and every body part of the character so that every curve of the character moves in a very smooth way to represent a motion.
Stop Motion
Stop motion videos are very creative. Right? Have you ever thought that how a stop motion video is made and what exactly it is? Well, I am here with accurate knowledge of stop motion animation. So, stop a motion animation is an excellent form of animation in which traditional character animation combines with live-action filmmaking protocols. It is made by moving a photo of an object in a slideway and then arranging many photos in such a way that it looks like animation and when the photos are played in a specific sequence 1 by 1, then they appear as the illusion of motion.
Motion graphics
I know many of you have heard about motion graphics but I bet many of you don’t know what exactly motion graphics is. Motion graphics are very different from any other type of animation but still come under the animation category because it serves many characters similar to animation. Motion graphics is an illusion created by moving text or graphics in such a way that it appears like an animation video.
The Main Principle Of Animation Design
Now let’s understand the main principle of animation design to make successful animation.
You need to remember these principles to achieve the goal.
Material
This shows that what your element consists of it is light or heavy flat or multidimensional or rigid or flexible. It gives a proper idea to the users that how your UI element interacts with each other.
Trajectory of movement
You have to define the nature of the movement. You must need to decide which impression you want your gift and then stick with it.
Timing
Timing is one of the most important considerations when designing animation. You have to use curves to make your object more natural. So you need to decide the exact timing according to the user's actions.
Rhythm
Rhythm and animations perform the same function as it does in music and dance it is structured the motion using vitamin e or animation makes the look more natural.
So, it was all about this blog, now I think you are well convinced about the idea behind animation.
