سلام به دوستان گرامی

تقسیم بندی تکنیکی انیمیشن رو در زیر نوشتم و یه کمی با اون تقسیم بندی که در کتاب خانم جواهریان هست متفاوته به این دلیل که هم جدید تره و به لحاظ نرم افزاری که به کار رفته هم ، یه تقسیم بندی انجام شده.

دوم دوربینی که عکسش رو گذاشتم ، در انیمیشن  سه بعدی کورولاین به کار رفته که در آینده توضیحش رو خواهم داد.

2D Animation Techniques

  • Classic, hand drawn animation - Disney's Lion King.
  • Cut outs - Monty Python (see also in stop motion and in 3D. This technique crosses all barriers!)
  • Rotoscopy - Waking Life
  • Flip book - Keith Haring has made some famous ones.

Computer Assisted Animation -2D

This term refers to all types of animation that use a computer somewhere in the process.
One could argue that this means ALL ANIMATION today.
Mostly we use it to describe the tools that have come to replace pencil, paper and film, for example:

  • Flash animations - Many TV series are now done in Flash, check out this example.
  • Coloring and layering hand drawn animation using a computer
  • Drawing directly into an animation software with a Pen Tablet

3D Animation Techniques

  • 3D animation- Pixar's Up, Toy Story
  • Stereoscopic 3D - Coraline, Avatar
  • CGI cut out - South Park
  • Motion Capture (an aid tool for 3D animators)- Final Fantasy, Avatar, Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
  • Morphing (Remember the changing faces in Michel Jackson's Clip Black or White? that's Morphing.)

Stop Motion Techniques

  • Clay or Plasticine ("claymation")- Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit
  • Real Clay animation (and lot's of other stuff you won't suspect)- Jan Svankmajer's Dimensions of Dialogue
  • Puppet animation- Tim Burton and Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Pixilation - Peter Gabriel's music video "Sledgehammer"
  • Cut outs - Daniel Greave's Flat World is a stunning combination of classic hand drawings with cut outs.

Types of Animation that are done on a light table, shot frame by frame under a camera:

  • Sand animation - This is sometimes done as a performance art, shown live for an audience, and sometimes it's stop framed into proper film.
  • Oil colors - Caroline Leaf's The Street, and the frankly-unbelievable Old Man and the Sea by Alexander Petrov.
  • Plasticine - Ishu Patel's Afterlife

 

Types of animation named after a software

Some types of animation are named after the software used to create them.
Flash animation has come to mean a certain kind of graphic look and feel, which has also spawned the pleading request "Can you make it NOT look like Flash, PLEASE!"

There are also:

  • GIF animations - GIF is a type of file format, used for small, light weight animations with no more than a few frames.
  • After Effects animation - usually means either cut outs done in After Effects, or animation done with the program's Puppet Tool (which is amazing, BTW).
  • Blender, Mudbox, and Maya - all names of 3D animation softwares.
  • Pivot stick figure - A freeware for making stick figure animations. So simple, and so popular!
  • Morphing is a type of animation that uses a software to fill in the gap between two images - MJ's "Black or White" music video.
