Tell me about animation.

Animation is a comprehensive art category and the product of human spiritual liberation in industrial society. It is an artistic expression that integrates painting, comics, movies, digital media, photography, music, literature and many other artistic categories.

English animation: animation, cartoon, cartoon, photography. Among them, the more formal word "animation" comes from the Latin root anima, which means soul; The verb animate is to give life, which means to make something alive. Therefore, animation can be interpreted as an activity that makes inanimate things like gaining life through the arrangement of the creator.

In the early days, China called animation an art film; Now it is called comics internationally.

Animation is a kind of fantasy art, it is easier to express and express people's feelings intuitively, and it can turn what is impossible to see in reality into reality and expand people's imagination and creativity.

Many people think that the object of cartoon shooting is not real, either drawn by an animator or generated by a computer. In short, it is something created out of thin air. In fact, animation itself is not necessarily related to its shooting object, and the key to truly distinguish animation from film and television technology (especially the moving image technology shot by continuous cameras and cameras) is its shooting method. Animation refers to animation technology. Before the appearance of three-dimensional animation, the relative standard definition of animation technology is: the technology of shooting objects frame by frame and playing them continuously to form moving images. No matter what the subject matter is, as long as it is shot frame by frame, continuous playing to form a moving image is animation.

Broadly speaking, it is to turn some inactive things into moving images through the production and projection of movies. This is animation. The Chinese name of "Animation" should be said to have originated from Japan. Before and after World War II, Japan called comic works depicted with lines "animation".

Black Rock Shooter animation is to divide the expressions, actions and changes of people and things into many frames, and then shoot them into a series of pictures with a camera, thus creating a continuous visual change picture. Its basic principle, like film and television, is visual principle. Medicine has proved that human beings have the characteristic of "visual persistence", that is, after seeing a painting or an object, people's eyes will not disappear within 0.34 seconds. Using this principle, playing before the next painting disappears will give people a smooth visual change effect. Therefore, movies are shot and played at the speed of 24 frames per second, and televisions are shot and played at the speed of 25 frames per second (PAL system, which is used by China TV) or 30 frames per second (NTSC system). If you shoot and play at a speed lower than 10 frames per second, there will be a pause.

Animation lies not in the materials used or the way of creation, but in whether the works conform to the essence of animation. Up to now, animation media has included various forms, but no matter what form, they all have one thing in common: their images are recorded in the form of movies, videos or digital information; In addition, the "action" of the image is an illusion created, rather than existing originally.

So far, animation can be divided into two kinds: two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation. Two-dimensional animation is made by software such as flash, and three-dimensional animation is mainly made by maya or 3D MAX. Especially maya, a three-dimensional animation software, has been making three-dimensional animations and movies at home and abroad in recent years, and a large number of excellent and shocking three-dimensional animation movies have emerged, such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Superman Story, Shrek, Transformers and Kung Fu Panda.
