Animation
Film Education indicate that animation is a process whereby we witness still pictures appear to move. Animation has existed for centuries in many different ways but as technology has updated animations have inevitably improved in quality. Film Education also insist that the reason we are perceived to see the mages is moving is down to the 'Persistence of Vision' theory. Our brain will hold on to the image for a fraction of a second and when another image is presented so quickly we cannot cope with the fast moving images.
Without even realising we come across animations every single day; may of the adverts we see; films we watch and many TV programmes all include animations of some sort. Animators will make changes in size, shape or angles in order to create the effect that they are moving and the speed of each frame can have a big impact on how the viewers judge the animation.
Possibly one of the UK's most successful animation is Wallace and Gromit. The film is a stop-motion and many Wallace & Gromit films have been created over the years with a large amount of success for Aardman Animations. Aardman have completed films such as Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep and The Pirates which are all well known in the UK.
Animation in Schools
Children at all ages are now encouraged to use the creative instincts and animation is a great way of doing this. Rather than using the traditional books and whiteboard there are now many pieces of software which enables children to use technology to broaden their learning experiences. Zu3D is a stop-motion software for children and adults which can be used to create short animated films at school or at home. Having sampled Zu3D myself the application requires patience and can be difficult for children at a young age to grasp.
