Process comparison two type of animation:-
Traditional Animation
Traditional animation need cels and background created separately; computer
animation doesn’t. According to animator Jan Eric Nyström, background drawn hand created
much like as a scenery painting. Animator attracts character in relation of background.
Every frame is drawn and then change on a cel , that is a thin, transparent plastic sheet. The
sheets allow for a limited number of drawings to be used in multiple ways and in
combination, thus cutting down the amount of drawing required. Each cel is then
photographed until the film is shot.
Below are steps of drawn animation process:
1. The idea / story structure
2. The Storyboard
3. Sound recorded
4. Analyze sound length in number of frame
5. Sound analysis entered on dope sheets
6. Layout for scene drawn up
7. Director uses layout and dope sheet to plan movement and timing

The diagram summarizes the traditional process of the production of an animated film.
For techniques of cut out animation, sand and painted over glass, and others. See separate
articles. Illustrated part duties has evolved from need divide the work among
others person with different skills so that time taken to make a film is commercially
viable.
Steps 1, 2 and 3 place base film and provide, in 4 and 5, material where film can be
organized. The animation director 6 takes rule information time in dope sheet
and picture planning of the layout 7 per scene and start movement painting.
While background 8 finalized as a separate strand, , the main burden of the film such as
the animated drawing of the action, works its way through a process of refinement 10 and
11 to 12. Once movement paintings satisfactory, they pass to workers cels
that breed them in color on transparent acetate 13 and 14. The Cels and background
paper united 15, and every scene checked carefully before it approve to camera. The

move requires every frame as shoot it 16. The Film go the laboratory to
develop and print 17, and the printed scenes are edited fight against against the sound 18
to produce the cutting copy (or”printing work”). When all component sound tracks have
been similarly fitted to the picture, they mixed together 19 into a master sound track.
Roll negative now go with picture cut, copies to be edited match it, a properly graded
final print is made 21. As a print with a combined sound track, this can be projected as
film. For TV and video, it is usual to transfer from a separate mute print and the sound
master.

Production systems use another computer in point where traditional process takes over by
computer work. For some, every level after initial planning was done by animators
work in computer; to another, only dye animation drawn traditional made digitally
Animation director take rule information time and picture planning layout for

Films go the laboratory to develop and print.
The printed scenes are edited against the sound to produce the cutting copy (or” work
print”)
When all component songs has similar attach to picture, they mixed together into a
single master soundtrack

The negative rolls now go with the picture cutting copy to be edited to match it.
From deduction negative a properly grading final print is made.
As a print with a combined sound track this can be projected as film.
Advantages of Computer Generated 2D Animation.
According to Jesse Cordtz, animator and operations manager of HieroGraphics
Entertainment, an animation firm stationed in Boise, Idaho, two from largest advantages
of using 2D computer animation in a project was realism and speed
computer animation can bring a project. For example, once an image is created in the
animation program, it can be stored there for later use; it doesn't have to be "redrawn" or
recreated. For shows produced weekly, this saves a great deal of time. While the initial
output to create the product is steep, the later episodes of a production go faster, because
the key images have already been created.
Computer can enables an artist to just press a few buttons and Press! The drawings are
done with just a few skilled in computer artist. Example is animators are using tracing
and coloring frames by hand (traditional use) can be replaced.
Computer can produce an “in between” a more difficult procedure to be handled
manually. The life of an artist a little easier. Below are the examples of in between.
At the same time, Computer Generated 2D Animation get the bonus of the undo button.
At the same time this animation can copied as much as specifying the number of repeats
required.
Page 6
In between
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
The artist who drew with pencil and paper can now use keyboard and mouse also pen
tablet or touch screen to create shapes and images in computer.
Computer animation is a process that brings picture to life by making them appear to
move. This is done through animated computer generated 2D animation which are used
to present information in an interesting way or for pure entertainment. It is one of the
essential tools that computer needs so as to enable to complete work faster and in an
easier way.
To draw that have trouble painting, computer can draw up easily with
computer animation that will experience perfectly things. In poor
lighting, computer can doing paint; it can shade and conduct light calculations so
that object will be having perfect and stable light effects. This will give one perfect image
appearance.
Some laboratory experiments are dangerous if carried out practically. There’s no need to
put lives in danger because the Computer animation can simulate what will happen.
Computer animation software will give capacity in result objects which moves that have
gotten from materials pictorial which includes; pictures and maps. They can create an
impression of life and give a clear visual impression.
Computer animation, also often addressed as CGI (computer-generated image)
animation, uses digital equipment and software to produce 2D. It uses moving images
digitally created, instead of using fully hand-drawn images, to make an animated film.
The popular computer animation software includes Adobe Flash and After Effects for 2D
animation. Examples of movies that use computer animation include "The Iron Giant”,
“South Park", “The Ren & Stimpy”, "Rugrats," and An American Tail” etc.

Examples of 2D Animation Software
Adobe Flash Professional
Flash, a program is introduced by Macromedia in mid 1990s and achieved by Adobe in 2005,
was a design platform used to create flow enthusiastic for websites and various other documents
type. Although Flash is not popular with website developers and webmaster it was because of
Flash's difficulty attracting search engine bots, there are many advantages to using it as a web
design tool to produce interactive games, business presentations and flashy websites.
Advantages:
If find rich software with features used to be doing content mean then Adobe Flash was answer.
It is favorite’s animation industry and equally well works for platforms like smart phones,
Tablets and TV. It presents effective work flow environment and give enhanced control
layers. The cost is even though in higher side, especially increase grading costs. The plus point
of using Flash is that it lets the animator integrate many sophisticated effects to the animation
being created.
It animated popular tool that was part of adobe software suite. Flash can manipulate
vector and flow support audio bidirectional and video. It is also compatible with most web
browsers, mobile phones and other electronic devices such as MP3 players. Flash is compatible
with Windows, Mac, OSX, Linux and Solaris. The examples of flash movies are The Ren &
Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television
series, created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi.

Boom develop animation and software storyboarding for film, television, animation
network, games, mobile devices, and training applications. In 2005, Toon Boom was
awarded Primetime Emmy in Engineering
Advantages:
My personal favorite, this software was a tool that is good to create animation Flash. It has really
cool few features such as techniques rigging flexible, parallel Xsheet and Timeline, various types
of vector effects and capacity for export to different formats such as SWF, FLV and QuickTime
make it love tool to animate. Usage cameras create environment 3D in software 2D, adding
drop shadows and tweening was few features that is most enhanced Toon Boom. The
environment provides very like traditional animation, hence, animator enjoy even more.

(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
CreaToon is a program to create animation systems 2D written for Microsoft windows. It was
acquitted by Androme NV with version 3.0 was licensed Freeware and no longer developed
into. The program specializes in animation style cutout.
Advantages:
CreaToon was software solution that is strong for PC create animation 2D in section style.
For example, it containing a little fairly good compositing features. Downside was preview
window, that a little small, but it delivers editing real time and previewed. Artwork created
in other packages, and then import into CreaToon. South Park Animation was used this
software.
It is not animated package based on cel in traditional sense , it has limited ink and tools paint, It
have decent few features, consider price, including tools tweening and a camera various aircraft,
with object can place during axis-z in space 3D. This software used to join bitmap and vector
graphic, edited in real time and flexible for pictorial style.
The best thing on CreaToon is that it is available for free. We need unlock software to
using this program. It works on Windows operating system. Although, a bit stagnant in
producing newer versions or enhancing the tool, CreaToon is still software worth trying for those
who want to explore animation tools!

(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Advantages:
Improved work speed
Speeds up every process: drawing, painting, and shooting.
Cost reduction
Cost reduction is achieved not only by the reduction of the production time, but because
consumables such as cel, acrylic paint, and film become unnecessary due to the
digitization of the production process.
Improved expressive skills
Screen presentations and special effects which were not possible to achieve with cel and
film are now possible thanks to digital technology.
Page 15
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Easy operation
Functions are designed following the animation production workflow which makes it
easy for people in the industry to learn the operations.
Utilization of the Internet
Unlike paper, cel, and film, digitized data can be exchanged using the Internet lessening
the risk of loss. Furthermore, using the Internet you may save the cost of delivery and
retrieval of materials (both personnel and logistics).
Necessary application in necessary quantity
Applications are independent of each other, meaning you can acquire the licenses in the
necessary numbers for each type of work. For examples, 12 licenses for STYLOS, 8 for
PaintMan, and 5 for CoreRETAS.

Mixed Media
Mixed media is among animated types. Animated various range type from traditional
approach of latest computer technology. Mixed inclined media to consult a visual arts
work which combines various visual arts media that is by different tradition. And combining
visual art with non-visual elements (such as recorded sound, for example) or with art
elements the rest (such as literature, drama, dance, motion graphics, music, or interactivity).
Page 20
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Exaggeration
Charm characters animation is they should not become real. All about them intended to cheer
up audience. Character movements, exaggeration, expressions and reactions were proven a
device keep entertaining audience. Example an animation below as the Stimpy’s clock is ringing
then the blue lightning is blinking. And also same with the second picture below. It also shows
blinking star when the horse kick the Stimpy’s head.
Page 21
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Anticipation
This is the clue that characters give the viewers something is about to happen. Example; when
cousin’s Ren make his eye’s bigger. Same goes to Ren. That prepares the audience to the next
thing that is about to happen.
Movement
Page 22
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Animations do not make paintings transfer. It in essence, draws movement. What animator does
“in between”. How image or painting is being moved, more important than what steps.
When picture animation techniques use forms a book, it is in a state of that detrimental because it
is may be to use only stationary image because example and what happen “in between” can get a
little or have no visual demonstration except written explanation.
Illusion
Page 23
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Animation involves the process of assembling a sequence of still images to create an illusion of
movement. The quality of the sequence is more important than the quality of images.
The Iron Giant (1999)
Page 24
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
Cast: James Gammon, Christopher McDonald
Director: Brad Bird
Producer: Des McAnuff, Pete Townshend
Screenwriter: Brad Bird, Ted Hughes, Tim McCanlies
The Iron Giant is a 1999 animated science fiction action drama film utilizing both traditional
animation and computer animation. In1986, rock musician Pete Townshend became interested
in writing "a modern song-cycle in the manner of Tommy", and chose Ted Hughes' The Iron
Man as his subject. Three years later, The Iron Man: A Musical album was released. The same
year Pete Townshend produced a short film set to the album single "A Friend is a Friend"
featuring The Iron Man in a mix of stop frame animation and live action directed by Matt
Forrest. In 1993, a stage version was mounted at London’s Old Vic. Des McAnuff, who had
adapted Tommy with Townshend for the stage, believed that The Iron Man could translate to the
screen, and the project was ultimately acquired by Warner Bros.
The Iron Giant used Animo software. It released at 6th August 1999. And time running about
86 minutes. Also got many award. Examples are The Hugo Awards nominated The Iron
Giant for Best Dramatic Presentation, while the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of
America honored Brad Bird and Tim McCanlies with the Nebula Award nomination. The British
Academy of Film and Television Arts gave the film a Children's Award as Best Feature Film. In
addition The Iron Giant won nine Annie Awards and was nominated for another six
categories, with another nomination for Best Home Video Release at The Saturn
Awards. IGN ranked The Iron Giant as the fifth favorite animated film of all time in a list
published in 2010. The genre animations are Science fiction and Fantasy. And also War
theme.
Film Description:
A boy's best friend is his robot in this animated adventure from Brad Bird, best known for his TV
work on such series as The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and The Critic. Set in 1957, The Iron
Giant focuses on Hogarth (voice of Eli Marienthal), an imaginative nine-year-old boy who
Page 25
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
daydreams of alien invasions and doing battle with Communist agents. One day, Hogarth hears a
local fisherman talk about something that surpasses anything he could dream up: a fifty-foot
robot that fell from the sky into a nearby lake. Needless to say, Hogarth's mom, Annie (voice of
Jennifer Aniston) finds this a little hard to swallow, but when Hogarth finds the robot (voice of
Vin Diesel) and fishes him out of the water, his pal Dean (voice of Harry Connick Jr.), a beatnik
sculptor who also runs a junkyard, offers to help by hiding the robot with his salvage. A
government agent named Kent Mansley (voice of Christopher McDonald) soon gets wind that
there's a mechanical invader of unknown origins in the neighborhood and wants to wipe out the
potential threat. However, the robot (which loves to eat metal and is learning to talk) turns out to
be friendly, and the boy in turn tries to teach his new pal the ways of humans. The Iron Giant is
loosely based on the book The Iron Man by late British poet Ted Hughes, previously adapted for
the stage by rock musician Pete Townshend, who executive produced the film.
The keys to Animation.
They have a few key elements in animation in order to produce a good animated work.
Illusion
Animation involves the process of assembling a sequence of still images to create an illusion of
movement. Animated film art in action and this is what makes animation unique.
Illusion 1:-

Anticipation
This is indication that characters give spectators which something will happen below.
For example, character eye can follow a disturb bee. This provide audience for thing next that
will happen.

Screenwriter: Pam Brady, Trey Parker, Matt Stone
South Park was animated American a sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for
Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become
famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics.
Continuously story revolves around four sons; StanMarsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman
and Kenny McCormick and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.
Animated style show inspired by section cartoons paper cut out made by Terry
Gilliam for Monty Python's Flying Circus of which Parker and Stone has become lifelong
fans. Construction paper and traditional cutout stop motion techniques have been used in
original animated shorts and in pilot episode. Scenes next were generated by computer
animation, provide an appearance that is same of original when required one fraction of the
time to produce.
The South Park was used Creatoon 2.5 software. The animation genres are black comedy,
off color humor, surreal humor, satire. They have 16 seasons and 256 episodes. The popular
theme is love.

Film Description:
The most tasteless third graders on television graduate to the big screen, as Trey Parker and Matt
Stone expand their animated series with foul-mouthed humor that might breach the boundaries of
basic cable. In the small Colorado town of South Park, good-natured Stan Marsh, slightly
neurotic Kyle Broflovski, fat and petulant Eric Cartman, and perpetually doomed Kenny
McCormick are psyched for the premiere of the first feature film from flatulent Canadian TV
performers Terrance and Phillip, entitled "Asses of Fire." The movie is rated R, but that's not
about to stop the boys from sneaking into the theater. However, when the boys' language gets
bluer by the minute after seeing the film, their parents and school administrators decide that
something must be done. Kyle's mother comes up with the ideal solution: blame Canada.
Terrance and Phillip end up in jail for corrupting America's youth, while the Canadian Air Force
retaliates with an air strike targeting the Baldwin brothers. The boys soon organize a children's
underground resistance force to free Terrance and Phillip before they can be executed;
meanwhile, in a sensitive subplot exploring relationship issues, we're permitted an inside look at
the domestic problems of Satan and his lover, Saddam Hussein. As on the TV show, Parker and
Stone perform the voices of most of the characters, and they also wrote several songs for the
film; George Clooney, Minnie Driver, Eric Idle, Dave Foley, and Mike Judge contribute voices.
Not to spoil the plot, but rumor has it that Kenny dies.
Cartoon Animation On Still Photographs.
The use of photographs, as a background poses no particular technical problems. It is also
possible to shoot animation on photographic backgrounds.
Page 30
(CBAA3103) 2D ANIMATION
It combines cartoon drawing with other visual tricks. Blending of them with life shoot actor and
scenery governed digitally so that the fine variations of lighting were the same for both sets of
images as example below. This is the wonder of computer animation, capable of manipulation
and combining images from many sources leading to incredible living and moving subjects on
screen.

Rugrats created by comics series from 1998 to 2003. Nick produces Rugrats comic strip ,
that was distributed through Syndicate Creator. Initially written by show-writer Scott Gray and
drawn by comic book artist Steve Crespo, with Rob Armstrong as editor. During this
time, Nickelodeon also published 30 issues of an all Rugrats comic magazine. It was using Toon
Boom software.
Film Description:
Based on the popular Nickelodeon TV series Rugrats, this is the first full-length feature animated
movie to star the little tots. It's the story of diaper-clad kids, told from a baby's point- of-view,
and they were one of the hottest-selling toy franchises of the late '90s. The film features a
hilarious musical number in the hospital nursery, where newborns have the voices of major rock
stars that include Jakob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son), Iggy Pop, Lou Rawls, Lisa Loeb, and Patti
Smith, to name a few. The story escalates when self-proclaimed leader Tommy Pickles is thrust
into an impossible situation with the birth of his new brother, Dil Pickles. This new kid is
grabbing all the attention and won't stop crying. With the help of other toddlers Lil and Phil,
Tommy decides that the baby should be returned to the hospital for fixing. They all hop on their
little wagon and take a high-speed ride straight into the deep woods where they realize they're
lost. Chased around by animals (or so they think), the Rugrats clan must get home in one piece.
Other celebrity voices include Whoopi Goldberg and The Rocky Horror Picture Show's Tim
Curry, as well as Saturday Night Live's Andrea Martin and David Spade.
