2. 2 D Animation How can we define 2D animation ? 2D animation is the creation of moving pictures in a two-dimensional environment This is achieved by sequencing images one after the other to simulate movement . The illusion of movement is created when individual drawings are sequenced together over time. One second of time is usually divided into 24 frames. Depending on the style of animation there can be as many as 24 unique drawings in one second of animation (24fps). This is different from 3D animation as 3D animation creates three dimensional worlds that characters or objects can move around in .

3. History of 2D animation 2D animation has a long and colorful history that dates back to the early 20th century. It all started with hand-drawn images, where artists created each frame by hand. As technology advanced, animators began using celluloid sheets to streamline the process, allowing them to layer different elements and create smoother, more fluid animations. This led to the creation of iconic characters like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. With the advent of computers, 2D animation transitioned into the digital realm, making it even more accessible and versatile for artists and animators to tell engaging stories through colorful, flat characters and backgrounds.

4. Flick Books Flick Books are one of the simplest forms of creating animation . A flick book, also known as a flip book, is a small booklet filled with a series of pictures or drawings. When you flip through the pages quickly with your thumb, the pictures appear to move, creating the illusion of animation. Each page typically contains a slight change from the previous one, so when you flip them rapidly, it looks like the images are in motion.

6. The Drawing Animation Process This is the most time-consuming part of creating the animation . A huge team of people work on drawing the outlines , inking and then painting in the colors. These are then photographed according to the instructions on the dope sheet .

8. Computer Animation Computer Animation is a b ranch of CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) focused on creating moving images. Includes both 2-D and 3-D digital animations. Used in blockbuster films for special effects (e.g., Transformers, Avatar). Nowadays most 2D animations are created with computers . Using computers allows animators to produce animation much quicker as they don't have to redraw each frame .

9. Computer Animation There are two main types of graphics used in 2D computer animations . Bitmap graphics are made of a set number of pixels in a grid . This means if the image is resized it may distort and lose quality . Vector graphics are made up of mathematical equations . This means that they are always at their highest quality no matter how their aspects may change .
