Animation
Animation is a series of images that are places one after another
to produce the illusion of movement.
Just like most art forms it takes practice to become really good at
animating. Computers have helped to make animation a quicker and simpler
process then it once was. Now computers have been used in almost every
animated film that has come out in the last ten years. Because of this
animation quality has improve dramatically to the point that animated
characters are serving as major characters in many of the top movies
today. This includes characters such as Ja-Ja Banks in Starwars, The
many dinosaurs of the Jurassic Park movies, and Gollum in the Lord of
the Ring movies.
If any one has ever watched some of the really old animation such
as Steamboat Willy done by Walt Disney Studios in the late 1920’s
or some of the animations showing up on the Internet nowadays. They
know that animation has come a long way and is still improving.
Animation is found in early morning cartoons, computer games, movies,
commercials and the Internet. We see it almost every day.
