What are the main classifications of animation industry? How to start learning?

With the development of computer image technology in recent years, some domestic artists engaged in cartoon cartoons began to make cartoon images that are more dynamic and can be played continuously than a single cartoon picture on the computer, and thus began to call them "animations", that is, "serial cartoons".

The animation industry takes creativity as the core and animation and comics as the forms of expression, including the development, production, publication, broadcast, performance and sales of animation direct products such as animation books, newspapers, movies, television, audio-visual products, stage plays and new animation varieties based on modern information communication technology, as well as the production and operation of derivative products such as clothing, toys and electronic games related to animation images.

As a cultural product, animation has many carriers or performance platforms. Generally speaking, there are four links in the animation industry chain, namely comics (books, newspapers and periodicals), animation (movies, television, audio-visual products), stage plays and online animation. Animation creation is the foundation of the industry, film and television animation is the communication tool of the industry, animation stage play is the extension and promotion of the industry, and online animation is the application of the industry under the new technological conditions, which has the function of pulling and integrating. In addition, there are games, toys and other peripheral products development. These links are interdependent and mutually pulling. After decades of development, countries such as the United States and Japan have formed a complete industrial chain. Due to the late development, cognitive problems, administrative division and other reasons, the animation industry in China has not yet formed a complete and good industrial chain.
