What kind of animation is Walt Disney animation?

Answer 1

PIXAR uses their own software to create and animate 3D models. They use very powerful computers to create them and then "render" them (rendering is a process where a computer does millions of mathematical equations to simulate their model as best as possible). All movies are just still pictures moving in fast motions. These pictures are called frames. There are about a trillion frames in a 2 hour movie.

It takes about 1-90 hours to just render one frame. Multiply that by....a lot...I could say.

EDIT: "It takes about 1-90 hours to just render one frame. Multiply that by....a lot...I could say. "That is not accurate; It does not take that long to render 1 frame. Animation/visual effect studios use what's called a "Render Farm", which is a separate group of computers used only for rendering shots, which dramatically speeds up the process. When an animator finishes his shot, he sends it off to those computers to get rendered, and while that's happening, he can begin to work on the next shot.

EDIT: 24 frames per second is the normal motion picture speed that we see with film. A 2 hour or 120 minute movie would only be about 173,000 frames, not a trillion.... LOL

Answer 2

The Disney artists used cells. Cells are plastic sheets that they would draw a character or scene on. Before they used the cells they would draw out the characters and scenes on a story board, then do the cells. After the cells were done they would put them together and shoot them.

Answer 3

Cartoon and computer animatied
