This document outlines and defines several types of animation: zoetrope, cel animation, claymation, stop frame/stop motion, CGI, and flipbooks. It provides brief descriptions of each type: zoetrope uses slits and sequential images to create the illusion of movement, cel animation uses transparent sheets with altered images to produce full animations, claymation combines stop motion with clay models moved between shots, CGI uses techniques like tweening and morphing with keyframes, and flipbooks make images appear to move by flicking sequential pages with slightly changed drawings. The document tasks the reader with researching each type in more detail with descriptions and illustrative images.

1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ANIMATION
Computer Animation

2. INVESTIGATE TYPES OF ANIMATION
Zoetrope
Cel animation
Claymation
Stop frame/stop motion
CGI
Flipbooks

3. ZOETROPE
The zoetrope produces the
illusion of movement when the
viewer looks through the slits in
its sides while it shows a
sequence of images that are all
slightly different

4. CEL ANIMATION
Cel animation involves the use
of many transparent sheets
which can all be laid on top of
one another. The images
on each sheet will be
Changed to give the illusion of
movement this is repeated
until a full length animation is
produced

5. CLAYMATION
This is a combination of stop
motion animation and using
clay models that are moved
slightly before each image is
taken to create the illusion of
movement when the images
are shown in sequence

6. CGI - ANIAMTION
A very sophisticated
method of animation
which uses tweening,
morphing and
keyframes to produce
the effect of movement

7. FLIPBOOKS
These are created
using paper or card with
an image being drawn
on each page with a
slight change in the
postition so that when
the pages are flicked the
image appears to move

8. YOUR TASK
Research each of the different types
of animation describing how they
are created and providing images to
help illustrate what you have
written.
