the animation story
My personal enjoyment with animation has inspired me to write this essay, pertaining to animation. Since I was a child I have been fascinated with cartoons; from when they started out to be black and white, and until now with full colour and computer effects. To better perceive what my personal feelings about animation are, I must first discuss in full detail, a general overview of how animators bring traditional animation alive with motion. Animation seems like a smooth movement of drawn sequences of artwork, pasted together to form a single sequence of animation. This is the basis of animation, but animation is far simpler than it may seem. "The true meaning of animation is that it is a series of drawings strung together to create the illusion of smooth fluent movement."1 But the process of creating this so-called illusion, is a pain staking process during which artists must spend tremendous hours of agony to produce only seconds of animated film.

Wemust either accept this technology and learn to use it, or be left in the dark,falling behind in the technological world. That means a human actor can put on the suit, and his or hermovement will be transferred to the computer and processed as digitalinformation. The final processof creation is where the foreground animation is merged with the background, andthe mixed sounds are synchronized with animation.
