Anime

Anime Review One:

This short film is eye catching to me because i personally like action films, also the animation is very clear and is in HD which gives the video a better concept. The video is very easy for me to understand so it would be even more easy for other people to understand as i dont understand anime that well.

draw on film




Drawn on Film - Cel Animation - Painting Film:





Cel Animation:

A traditional form of animation used in the production of cartoons or animated movies where each frame of the scene is drawn by hand. A full-length feature film produced using cel animation would often require a million or more drawings to complete.
A cel is a sheet of transparent cellulose acetate used as a medium for painting animation frames. It is transparent so that it can be laid over other cels and/or a painted background, then photographed.



Draw on Film/Paining Film:

Drawn on film animation, also known as animation without camera, is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock, as to any other form of animation where the images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation camera. On blank film the artist can draw, paint, stamp, or even glue or tape objects. Black film can be scratched, etched, sanded, or punched. Any tool the artist finds useful may be used for this, and all techniques can be combined endlessly.

Emile Reynaud - Praxinoscope

Emile Reynaud-Praxinoscope:
 A band of pictures is placed inside a shallow outer cylinder, so that each picture is reflected by the inner set of mirrors.  The number of mirrors is equal to the number of pictures, and the images of the pictures are viewed in the mirrors.  When the outer cylinder rotates, the quick succession of reflected pictures gives the illusion of a moving picture.

Joseph Plateatu - Phenakistoscope

Joseph Plateatu- Phenakistoscope:
The Phenakistoscope is uses the persistence of vision to create an illusion of motion. Although this theory had been recognized by the Greek mathematician Euclid, it wasn’t until 1829 that this principle became firmly established by Plateau. The Phenakistoscope used two discs mounted on the same axis. The first disc had slots around the edge, and the second had drawings of action, drawn around the disc in circles. Unlike Faraday’s wheel, whose pair of discs spun in opposite directions, a Phenakistoscope discs spun together in the same direction.  When viewed in a mirror through the disc’s slots, the pictures on the second disc will appear to move.
