In the autumn of 2010 I learnt animation techniques. Click on the link below to visit my work.

Set up in 2005, youtube a video sharing site was created. This gave amateur animators and audiance for their work, allowing them to recieve feedback and reach a global audiance.
Pixar created the first entirely computer generated 3D animation feature, Toy Story. Toy Story had huge box office success earning more than $361 million world wide on box office. The film required 800,000 machine hours and 114,240 frames of animation, with 2–15 hours spent per frame.
Aardman Animations are famously known for their successful use of claymation and animation techniques such as substitution. A Grand Day Out was the first Wallace and Gromit short film which was hugely popular.

Short cheap animations were produced and shown on saturday morning by Hanna-Barbera and Warner Brothers. To make the animations as cheap as possible they used limited animation techniques and very few background changes.
In 1937, Walt Disney studios released it's first fully animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and this pioneered a new form of family entertainment. Several decades later, Walt Disney animation studios continues to honour its heritage through animated films that combine beautiful artistry, masterful storytelling and ground breaking technology. This is all Cel Animation. It is one of the most iconic films Disney has ever made apart from the fact that it has colour and a pre-recorded soundtrack. It is increasing the horizons for animated film. Information and Research from: http://www.disneyanimation.com/aboutus/index.html
more feature films were made because the technology to record sound on film became more afordable.
Steamboat Willie was the third Micky Mouse animation produced but the first ever animation that included synchronised sound. It was directed, produced and voiced by Walt Disney and it also included sound effects such as whistles which were also in time with the animation.
capturing colour on film became possible in the 1920s so films started making colour films. 15 years later, in 1935 due to the film becoming more affordable more colour films could be made.
cel animation was a process which required precision and patience. Each scene was drawn in parts on pieces of acetate, this process of having one layer for background and another for character meant that it was easy to change expression without having to draw everything again.
Winsor McCay made the first American animated short film called Gertie the dinosaur. It was the first short film to be created by using keyframe animation. 10 thousand drawings were inked on rice paper to produce this piece.
This animation shows early use of 'cut out' animation, made to look like chalk animation. It shows faces being drawn on a chalkboard and coming to life. It has been regarded as the first animated film.
In 1877 Charles-Emile Reynaud invented the praxinoscope which was the successor of the zoetrope. It however was slightly different to the zoetrope, it worked with an inner circle of mirrors rather than narrow viewing strips. The picture was brighter and less distorted than the zoetrope.
The first ever flip book was created and shown in September 1868 with the name 'kineograph' (meaning moving picture). The flip book is similar to the zoetrope but the flipbook creates the illusion of motion. The flip book is basically a set of sequential pictures flipped at a fast speed to create an animation effect.

A zoetrope was first invented in 1834 this produces an illusion of moment through rapid sucsession of images. It was very popular as it was the first 'animation' type object.
