  • It almost certainly will reach into the tens of thousands but could possibly be 100,000 or more. Bodies lie in the streets and collapsed buildings, and the cries of people buried beneath the rubble continue to ring out.

  • Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.

      I feel this is important since it is the basic definition of Animation.
  • The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

      Why is this the most common method?

  • Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
  • The phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, as well as the common flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 1800s, while a Chinese zoetrope-type device was invented already in 180 AD.[3][4][5][6] These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.

      Gives good examples of early types of animation. Shows how it began.
  • An Egyptian burial chamber mural, approximately 4000 years old, showing wrestlers in action. Even though this may appear similar to a series of animation drawings, there was no way of viewing the images in motion. It does, however, indicate the artist's intention of depicting motion.

      Shows an early form of animation. I makes you realized how old the concept of animation is.
  • This has been claimed to be an example of early animation.[1] However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word

      The way this is information is said confuses me. I think its should be explained more clearly. I would write Although this was thought of as animation since the images did not move some people don't consider it animation.
  • The bouncing ball animation (below) consists of these 6 frames.

      Shows how the animation was created which is helpful in understanding the process of animation.
  • Georges Méliès was a creator of special-effect films; he was generally one of the first people to use animation with his technique. He discovered a technique by accident which was to stop the camera rolling to change something in the scene, and then continue rolling the film.
    • Hannah EWSIS
      Hannah EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Shows how one technique was found even though it was found by accident.
  • The earliest surviving stop-motion advertising film was an English short by Arthur Melbourne-Cooper called Matches: An Appeal (1899).

      I wonder how it managed to last so long with out being completly damaged.
  • A 5,200 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides.

    The Main Street Pimp I remember walking down Main Street and seeing this man. He stood out from the rest of the people I saw everyday. He would wear these interesting outfits unlike anything I had ever seen except for maybe in the movies. I found out he was known as the Main Street Pimp. When the podcaster said "Where is the Main Street Pimp?" I started to think and realized I had not seen him in a while. I wondered what had happened to him. I always enjoyed seeing him it kind of made me smile because he loved to be different from everyone else. He always looked happy. When I found out that the the Main Street Pimp had "died from a brain tumor" I was really sad. I missed seeing him walk around Main Street. He really became part of flushing and he really helped make it unique. I understand now why he did the things he did since he had schizophrenia. Although he had this condition he seemed happy and upbeat. He never seemed to care about what other people had to say about him. I would always say hello to him and he would smile. I am always happy to see people that make the best of their situation. I think although you may have issues you should not just give up or hate life. You should always live life to it's fullest. All I have left to say is rest in peace Main Street Pimp. We miss you.

    I was so excited to find out about the release of the movie. I was in Japan when I found out. Sadly I did not get to see the movie in Japanese. I did however get to see it in English. It was a beautifully animated movie with a great storyline. I really recommend it to anyone who like Studio Ghibli films or animated films in general.

    Ever since I was a little kid I love Studio Ghibli's films such as My Neighbor Totoro ,Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and many others. Ponyo is more recent though. I was really excited to hear that a new movie was being made by Isao Takahata since he has not made a full length movie since 1999. I like their animation style and the way there movies are presented. I think I first got interested in animation and art when I saw My Neighbor Totoro. I hope to see this film and see if Isao movie style has changed at all.

    This was very exciting news for me since I really love finding new programs to animate my art. This program seems amazing and offers everything I need. "Anime Studio will have you animating quickly, even if you've never done it before. We offer everything the aspiring or professional artist needs to create quality 2D animation, such as ready-to-use anime and cartoon style characters, with tutorials and sample files designed to help anyone master the latest animation techniques," said Sarina DuPont. This seems like an easy to use program not like some of the others ones I have used that are overly confusing and take to much time. I hope to one day use this program and improve my animation skills.

    I am learning about animation and 3d animation programs, and in particular I want to know what are some good 3d animation programs? I was researching this question online and came upon this program iCLone 4.

I really want to experiment with different 3D animation programs in order to find out witch on I work best with or maybe if I find I can use multiple programs.

    I'm learning more about Anime and Japan right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what are some interesting events happening in Japan concerning Anime? I was researching this question online, and this blog caught my attention because McDonald's In Japan is getting an exclusive Tamagotchi Anime. I remember when I was little I bought a Tamagotchi. It was a cute little egg shaped device where you took care of a little pet. I'm really excited that Japan is getting a really cool Tamagotchi Anime it is something I would love to see. The blog states "The latest Tamagotchi! anime television series will premiere on Japanese TV on the 12th." I'm so excited for that I hope even though it is on Japanese TV I will be able to see it some how.
