Animation, after many years, is still very much alive and thriving, though the field has undergone a number of drastic changes. Clearly the technique of animation has transformed with the advent of computers and the development of more advanced computer technology. The possibilities of animation are much greater than what they were when the earliest animated films were created more than a hundred years ago.

 

Computer animation is one of three main categories of techniques, the others being traditional and stop action. Computer animation is a field that is developing continuously, with increased use of 3D animation techniques and possibilities of photorealistic animation. Because of the prevalence of computer animation, those who are artistic and at the same time talented with computers may find a fulfilling career in this area. It can be pretty easy to get started in learning animation, with some basic computer programs and a creative impulse. Those that find themselves skilled and interested in computer animation can then pursue professional development courses at any number of schools.

 

With the internet, self-promotion can be fairly simple for aspiring animators. Setting up a channel on YouTube as well as a personal website are some very simple steps in promoting animation work, and can demonstrate skills to potential employers. With computer animation, the artist can embark on a career using only a home computer and some ingenuity, though official courses and steady employment may be a good idea at some point along the way.

 

All people like cartoons. Animation films are a great wonder created by animators at the studio. Fairy-tales about Cinderella, Snow White, King Lion and other characters get a new existence on the screen. People of all ages adore animation films a lot. Hundreds of drawings turn into a moving girl dancing with a beautiful prince. Animation film characters are quite different but all of them have been drawn on a sheet of paper with a pencil and watercolours and one picture is repeated hundreds of time with the slightest changes so that movements are close to natural. Muppets also are used for creation of animation films. Operators snapshoot the slightest movement of the puppet.
The best actors record a soundtrack for the animation film and then we sit opposite the TV-set and laugh together with our children or friends watching adventures of our favourite characters.
Computer technologies completely changed the whole process of creating animation films. The animator draws a character on the display and makes changes quickly and easily. He can also create a 3D model and make it move together with an actor sitting in the chair or dancing in front of the computer. Special sensors register every movement and transfer it to the 3D image. Time passes, and we watch “Madagascar”, “Toys”, “Shreck” and many other animation films with great pleasure. We follow adventures of heroes and do not even think how it was created, and only the final data remind us of a big team of animators, editors, sound editors and many other people who participated in creation of the animation film.
