Do Companys Such As Disney Use Stop Motion? Or what…?
How do things like Disney, Family Guy and The Simpsons (to name a few) animate their cartoons? They say nowadays that they use computers, does that mean that:
– Every single movement requires new colouring?
– Is every single frame drawn? Every single bit? Wouldn’t that be an insane amount of images?
Or is there some way that computers can assist with the animation so that the animators needn’t capture every single tiny frame?
They use computers for “painting” (coloring). It’s easier and it allows them to keep their colors consistent.
Animation is indeed an arduous process, and yes every single frame is “drawn”. But this has been done for almost one hundred years now.
Traditional animation is a complicated process involving layers of cels that are created by a large team of people. Animators deal with specific motions or “key-frames” that consist of the important parts of a single bit of animation (for example, a person lifting an arm: the key frames would be only the start and end of the arm motion). They a group of artists (usually outsourced to Asia) called “in-betweeners” fill in the remaining animation (which isn’t as crucial).
Cels consist of multiple elements- characters, backgrounds, and objects are all drawn separately on different cels. Cels can be moved or shifted to create the illusion of motion. Because of this, only certain elements from frame to frame have to be re-drawn, and cels and animation can be re-used multiple times.
