Animation Principals/Techniques

Puppet animation typically involves stop-motion puppet figures interacting with each other in a constructed environment, in contrast to the real-world interaction in model animation. The puppets generally have an armature inside of them to keep them still and steady as well as constraining them to move at particular joints. Examples include The Tale of the Fox, the films of Jiří Trnka, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the TV series Robot Chicken .



Computer animation; Like stop motion, computer animation encompasses a variety of techniques, the unifying idea being that the animation is created digitally on a computer. You can use programs like Blender 3d, Autodesk Maya, 3d Max, and many others to create computer animations which we shall be doing in our lessons.
