What are the 3 types off animation?

Answer 1

The three general types of animation are:

1.) Cel Animation

--> Drawings are made on transparent sheets (celluloid) which may then be laid on top of each other to combine characters and backgrounds

2.) Stop Motion Animation

--> A model or puppet (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes in position being made between each frame

3.) Computer Animation

--> Computers can be used to entirely create the shapes and colours of animated action, working from a series of mathematical codes, or they can be used to enhance hand-drawn characters.

Answer 2

EXAMPLES ARE: fantastic Mr. Fox, The Nightmare before Christmas, Coraline, and Chicken Run.

#1 comic animation. a character from a comic book or graphic novel is animated.

THIS is a hybrid of Illustration and cartoon.

EXAMPLES ARE: X-MEN. Spider-man, Garfield, and Peanuts.

#2 is Flash animation. A character is constructed within a computer with cartoon physics in its universe. THIS Is a hybrid of cartoon and C.G.I.
