  • The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

    Comparative Collective Biography Animated Film Studios in Zlín (Czech

    Animation studios in Gottwaldov and Lodz (1945/47-1990) - Comparative Collective Biography Animated film studios in Zlín (Czech Republic) and Łódź (Poland) were among the most successful film production centers in the Eastern Bloc. World-renowned personalities such as Karel Zeman, Hermina Týrlová, Daniel Szczechura or Zbigniew Rybczyński have worked there, and their films have won the world's most prestigious awards at festivals in Cannes, Venice, and Locarno or the Oscar Academy Award. During their existence, both studios have produced thousands of animated, puppet and combined films; an important part of their work was custom production as well, especially for television. Besides animation movies, also fiction, documentary, school or advertising films were produced in these studios. However, the history of the successful and prominent animated production of these studios has so far been presented only by popularizing or commemorative publications, portraits of individual filmmakers or analysis of selected films. The project aims to analyze and compare Gottwaldov and Lodz film animation centers. The animated production of the Short Film company´s branch in Gottwaldov (which later became an independent Film Studio Gottwaldov) followed the film production of the Baťa Company in the 1930s, was created outside of the administrative center of film production in Prague. The specific position of the in Zlín/Gottwaldov and Studio of Small Film Forms Se-Ma-For Łódź studios makes them an ideal focus of a comparative research. The research would be methodologically based on prosopographic research (i.e., on collective monographs of a selected group of studio workers). In similarity to Gottwaldov, Łódź has its tradition of film production cultivated outside the administrative center in Warsaw.

    Jiří Trnka at BFI Southbank in April 2012

    PRESS RELEASE March 2012 12/12 JiĜí Trnka At BFI Southbank in April 2012 Throughout April 2012, BFI Southbank celebrates the work of the Czech animation pioneer JiĜí Trnka (1912- 69) with a retrospective season in this, the centenary of his birth. The so called Walt Disney of the East, Trinka was responsible for introducing the Czech puppet film to the world and, in doing, has influenced the work of the likes of Jean Cocteau and the Quay Brothers. The season spans the director’s career taking in his wildly ambitious feature debut, The Czech Year (1947) that traces the passage of a single year in the Czech countryside, via two programmes of shorts, Trnka Shorts for Children and Trnka Shorts for Adults, adaptations of Shakespeare (A Midsummer Night’s Dream 1959) and Hans Christian Andersen (The Emperor’s Nightingale, 1948) and a very special Q&A with director, animator and protégée of Trinka, Vlasta Pospíšilová Anyone described by Jean Cocteau as ‘a magician who knows how to value childhood dreams’ is clearly very special indeed. The founder not merely of Czech puppet film but of Czech animation in general, Trnka is highly lauded both for the excellence of his own work and for his vast and continuing creative influence. Jan Švankmajer (Greedy Guts, Faust) worked at his studio, one of Trnka’s colleagues taught the Quay Brothers puppet animation, and his associates BĜetislav Pojar and Vlasta Pospíšilová produce stop-motion films like the Fimfárum series (2002-11) to this day. Trnka first established himself as an illustrator and stage designer before co-founding Trick Brothers in May 1945.

    ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, a SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV

    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, A SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV Isla Cartoon, a successful case The Animation lives in a sweet moment in Tenerife, both for the studios of the island and for professionals and students looking to make a career in this exciting industry. Companies like 3 Doubles, BWater, La Casa Animada and Mondo TV Iberoamérica develop from Tenerife millionaire productions that compete in international markets and have become success stories of what is now known as Isla Cartoon. Long before the boom of animation came to Tenerife, the largest of the eight Canary Islands, practically all the Hollywood majors had already discovered the wonders of this overseas territory: an unusual variety of landscapes, stable weather all year round, pool of local talent and one of the biggest tax incentives in Europe. Tenerife has hosted big shootings. However, it was in 2015 when the island included the animation sector in its commitment to strategic and complementary sectors to the more than 4 decades successful tourism sector. Strong institutional support, increasing fiscal incentives and a strategy designed to facilitate the establishment of companies were decisive, so that in just 3 years, Tenerife managed to go from 2 local animation studios and thirty jobs to the current 7 studios. and its more than 300 jobs. During this period, this Cartoon Island has also positioned itself as a meeting point for Ibero-American animation by becoming promoter and the main sponsor as well as host of the Quirino Awards and the international animation lab Bridging the Gap, that join to the existing ones as MiradasDoc with thirteen editions to his credit.

    Jan Švankmajer's Adaptations of Edgar Allan

    Jan Švankmajer’s Adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe By Tim White & J. Emmett Winn Fall 2006 Issue of KINEMA TOMORROW COULD BRING SALVATION: JAN ŠVANKMAJER’S ADAPTATIONS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE Animation, as a branch of cinema, has never been accorded the respect given to other kinds of filmmaking, and as a result has never been as carefully researched as have these other cinematic modes. In an understudied art, Jan Švankmajer, the Czech filmmaker (specializing in stop-motion animation and pixilation), is even less well-known or discussed.(1) The nature of his films, which are always disturbing and frequently downright repulsive, often leads critics to discuss them in terms of only these surface elements, using them as examples of Švankmajer’s strangeness. Even more often, however, critics and filmgoers choose not to discuss his films at all, as if the images and the ideas they evoke are too disgusting - or painful - to think about. Švankmajer’s animation is unlike most worldwide animation and is particularly dissimilar to mainstream American animation.(2) His work displays the varied influences of Dadaism, Surrealism, Lewis Carroll, Edgar Allan Poe, Eisenstein, Buñuel, Fellini, and traditional Czech puppet theatre. He is especially known for pixilating (animating three-dimensional objects and even people through stop-motion cinematography) such diverse objects as dead animals, broken glass and raw meat; as Terrence Rafferty once remarked, ”Švankmajer gets directly to the root meaning of animation - literally breathing life into the lifeless.”(3) He avoids dialogue in most of his work and often incorporates familiar children’s tales in violent, deadly, frightening visions of a world that we uncomfortably recognize as part of our everyday lives.

    ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS in IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: the FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST of WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I

    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS IN IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: THE FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST OF WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I Women Directors in Ibero-American Animation: The Future Will Be Feminist or Will Not Happen Ibero-American animated films - like all others - are told by men. Of the nearly 300 premieres* in the Ibero-American region, less than 20 have been directed by women, and less than ten are co-directed by at least one woman and one man. These figures help us focus on gender representativeness and the types of worlds and characters that are portrayed in animated films aimed at children and young and adult audiences, highlighting the gender gap in the industry. The figures in terms of premieres and projects in development call for a change that can’t be just lectures and meetings- proactive measures are needed to achieve a much-desired gender equality. By Marta García Since the launch of the first animated feature film in history, “The Apostle” by Quirino Cristiani in 1917, about 60 animated features have been released in Argentina, according to data from INCAA (Instituto de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales de Argentina); of which only ten were directed by women. In 2002, María Valentini led the way with “Bahía mágica”, a co-production by Cine Media Group, Naya Films, Cinecolor, JZ y Asociados and Mundo Marino with MDA Films from Spain, about a female biologist with a passion for animals. In 2007, Liliana Romero co-directed “Martín Fierro, la película” with Norman Ruiz (Aleph Media, Argentina/ Maíz Producciones, Spain).
