Different styles of animation

To begin with it was difficult to understand how beautiful animated moving images were made. Animation comes with the opportunities that are somewhat infinite but this also means they are rather intimidating, its almost impossible to even imagine how an idea starts and how the development goes through.

Watching various animations educated me, some have had enough care and love invested in them that they are designed and created frame by frame, some others have assets and allow applications such as Adobe After affects to fill in the gap once the beginning and end of a shot have been decided.

The main methods behind animation we have discussed involve the following

- Hand drawn stop motion animation
- Stop motion animation
- Adobe After Effects animation
- Anime Studio Pro animation

Each come with their own benefits and drawbacks, such as stop motion being time consuming and After effects limited RAM previews. but once an idea has been discussed and developed we can decide which shall be the best choice.
