Traditional Cel Animation
Film runs at 24 frames per second (fps)
- That’s 1440 pictures to draw per minute
- 1800 fpm for video
Productions issues:
- Need to stay organized for efficiency and cost reasons
- Need to render the frames systematically
Artistic issues:
- How to create the desired look and mood while conveying story?
- Artistic vision has to be converted into a sequence of still frames
- Not enough to get the stills right--must look right at full speed
- Hard to “see” the motion given the stills
- watch a video frame by frame - things can look very strange
