Animations

Activity # 35 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

All over the internet, you see animations. (I’m not going to explain what they are because you should know what they are by now)

Animating takes skill and a lot of time to make. Time in making it depends on how long the animation is. People animate in many different ways. There’s the occasional stick figures.

Most stick figure animations on the internet are basically just stickmen beating each other up (kind of like the one above, only a little faster). Stick figures have been around animations a lot nowadays, mostly because they’re the easiest things to animate. Other people take stick figure animating to a new level. Sometimes they make a plot or stories about them too. Another kind of animations are, well, the Japanese anime.

Many people love watching these animes Japanese people make. I don’t really watch them much. Mostly because it takes a long time to load (on the internet). Some people even make fandoms about them too. Dressing up as they’re favorite anime characters or Cosplay as some people call it. Another type of animation is the CG action movies, my favorite.

Dead Fantasy is a good example of a CG action movie. I think mentioned it on a previous blog entry but anyway, CG action movies look more 3D-ish and take a longer time to make and requires full skill and a team of more than just one animator. Dead Fantasy is just one example to this kind of animations. There are a lot more than you think. And the last one is… well I can’t think of anymore. But there are a lot more animations than the ones mentioned above. Why not Google them and watch?

By the way, I started learning how to animate. It’s a lot harder than you think.
