Let's Animate!

What is Computer Generated Animation?

Toy Story was the first Pixar-Disney collaboration, and the first feature-length animated film that was completely computer generated.

Computer animation is the process used for digitallygenerating animated images. The more general termcomputer-generated imagery (CGI) encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to the moving images.
​

Toy Story's  plot revolved around the rivalry between the cowboy Woody, previously the favorite toy of a little boy named Andy, and Buzz Lightyear, a shiny new astronaut toy that Andy receives for a birthday present.

​Though Pixar’s long development process included drawings, paintings, sculptures and photographs, the final work for the film was all done on computers. The sophisticated animation created a vivid three-dimensional world full of color and movement, where toys–including such childhood classics as toy soldiers, Mr. Potato Head and Etch-a-Sketch–come to life.

Released in November 1995, Toy Story received universally positive reviews, and would eventually gross more than $192 million at the domestic box office and $358 million worldwide. Lasseter received a special Academy Award for leading the Pixar team, and the movie became the first animated feature ever to score an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Animated GIF

An animated GIF is an image encoded in graphics interchange format (GIF),which contains a number of images or frames in a single file and is described by its own graphic control extension. The frames are presented in a specific order in order to convey animation. 
Let's Do It!

Cinemagraph

In theory, cinemagraphs are high quality images that move. But in practice, they are much more than that. A cinemagraph delivers an experience, which is vibrant, entertaining and delightful. It’s artistic, captivating and impressive. I bet when you land on a website with cinemagraphs, you stay there for few extra seconds before closing the tab or switching to another website.

Stop Motion

Stop motion is an animated-film making technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion when the series of frames is played back as a fast sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of re-positioning. Stop-motion animation using plasticine figures is called clay animation or "clay-mation". Not all stop motion, however, requires figures or models: stop-motion films can also be made using humans, household appliances, and other objects, usually for comedic effect. Stop motion using humans is sometimes referred to as pixilation or pixilate animation.
