STOP MOTION ANIMATION

one of my many ideas of my model animation, cars racing in the rally, with scenery,and rallying on the dirt most of all.

CELL BASED ANIMATION

FITC Toronto 2011 Titles from FITC on Vimeo.

Cell-based animation is where each cell is reproduced and variations are made to the next cell. This continues until there is a series of cells. Each cell is slightly different from the previous. It gives the appearance of movement, thus animation.

An excellent example of cell-based animation is to watch any of the Disney movies especially Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. All cells were hand drawn and painted.

Path-based animation where the first (original) cell or frame is drawn and the last cell or frame is drawn. The software then fills in the gaps between (tweening) these two frames, giving the appearance of movement. An example of path-based animation is the ballroom scene from the Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast.
