2D ANIMATION, 3D ANIMATION and CLAY ANIMATION

3D animation is the development of 2D animation. With 3D animation, the characters are shown in more vivid and real, real close to human form. For example Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredible, Shark Tale, Cars, up to Final Fantasy. Here we can see a visual difference when compared with 2D animation. Of it all also called 3D animation or CGI ( Computer Generated Imagery ). For 3D animation models, objects or models made ​​by computer using specific software, such as 3D Max or other, which then crawl to a virtual skeleton to make its 3-dimensional effect.

As for the model of 2D animation, animation created using multiple images that have a separate layer which means without the use of virtual framework. Then the limbs, eyes, mouth, etc. of the object was made as if moved by animators using a " key frame " continuous basis or frame by frame. The process is referred to as the ' tweening motion " or " morphing ". Examples of applications to do so is Macromedia Flash. Examples of the film is the animation film cell.

2D animation is also commonly called the cartoons. Cartoon Cartoon is derived from the word, which means a funny picture. Examples such as : Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Doraemon, and others. This animated film is a kind of basic techniques of animated cartoon films. This animation technique utilizes a series of drawings made ​​on transparent plastic sheet, called a cell. Drawn animated features individually for each cell in the moving image change, other than that there are silent part, the background, made ​​for each scene, in the elongated image larger than the cell sheet. Cell sheets and background given hole on one side, for the standard holder page on the table as in the picture animator, and a table stand when photographed. Directly on the film depiction Unlike other animated films, animated films this kind of depiction of an object using animation techniques created directly on celluloid either positive or negative, without Runtun shooting stop frame camera, for a work of art that needs to be disclosure or experimental, looking for something new.

Overall 3D Animation movie using the same technique Runtun working with 2D animation film types, different objects are used in the form of animated 3D objects ie taking into account the character animation, the nature of the materials used, time, light and space. To move a 3D object, though it may be, but it is quite difficult to implement, due to the nature of the materials used have limited space. Unlike other types of animation images, free to the desired range of motion. Based on the shape and the materials used, including the type of animated film is Film Animation Dolls, animated objects used in this animated film is a kind dolls and other figures, a simplification of natural forms of existing objects, made ​​from materials that have properties plastic and easy to be moved while taking the picture frame by frame, like a simple wood inlaid or carved, fabric, paper, wax, clay, etc. , to be able to create characters that are not rigid and too simple.

Movies with 3D animated object model in the form of film types and various forms of animation that is not a puppet and the like, such as abstract forms; beam, sphere, prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and others. Or the model, a pilot form of the actual size, such as molecules in a chemical form, earth ball. Simple form of animation objects, its use is not too complicated and does not require a lot of motion, the materials used are made ​​up of wood, hard plastic and other hard materials that conformed to the character of the material which is owned properties, but it does not mean the plastic material is not used. Also called a non-animated movie figure, because the whole story does not need leaders or other figure. Type of film technique that utilizes a cell sheet image saving considerations, by separating part of the animated object that moves, made ​​a few pictures as needed and no moving parts, just made ​​once.

Genre Animation Pieces, including the use of techniques that are simple and easy. Animated figure or object designed, drawn on a sheet of paper and then cut to the shape that has been made​​, and placed on a flat plane in the background. Shooting is done by directly analyzing each movement by hand, according to the demands of the story. With simple techniques, figure or object motion animation to be limited so that the character is limited anyway. Character figures made ​​separately, usually, consists of seven different parts of the head, neck, torso, two arms and two legs. To move and animate characters, splitting the bias adjusted to the demands of the story, can be made less than earlier or more parts.

Shadow Animation films like his puppet show thing, this type of animated films use the same way, figure or object animation of shadow with a bright background, because its illumination is behind the layer. The same techniques used by movie animation pieces, then cut that figure is drawn according to the shape drawn and placed on the table in the background for the camera holder in portrait. The difference here, the paper used is not as animated pieces, colored or paper materials are colored in accordance with the requirements, while the shadow animation using paper materials entirely dark or black in color, either the figure or other animated objects. Collage Animation films are always associated with this type of film animation is a technique that is free to develop our desire to move objects at will his animation stand camera on the table. Technique is quite simple and easy with a few ingredients that can be used ; piece of paper, portraits, drawings, letters or amalgamation of everything. Images and a variety of materials used, arranged in such a way and then changed it slowly starting to form a new arrangement, where each change was photographed with a camera attachment into a form of animation that is free.
