=Types of Animation=

This type of animation refers to the oldest and historically the most popular and well known form of animation, where animations are drawn by hand,frame by frame. We refer to these animations more commonly as cartoons, with famous examples of traditional animations being Cinderella, Tom and Jerry and The Simpsons.
 * Traditional Animation:**



Stop motion animation is when real objects are moved slightly for each frame for the sequence and then filmed or photographed, paused and the process is then repeated. Well known animations that use the stop motion technique are Wallace and Gromit, Coraline, Pingu and Bob the Builder. These still frames are then rapidly shown, one after the other, to make a moving picture. [|Pingu]
 * Stop Motion:**

This scene is from the Wallace and Gromit film, ‘The Curse of the Were Rabbit’. Overall the film took five years to make, with only five seconds of film being completed per week but each animator. This shows how long the process of animation can be and how much detail goes into to making all of the sets, scenes and filming perfect and ready for the final film production.

There are two types of computer animation, which are 2D and 3D animations. 2D animations use similar processes to traditional animations, but the frames are enhanced and edited using computer programmes. Animations such as Danny Phantom and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends use 2D animation processes.3D animations build a virtual world digitally and create characters and objects that are much more realistic. Films such as Shrek, Toy Story and Finding Nemo are excellent examples of 3D animations.
