The company was formed in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera - creators of Tom & Jerry - along with a partnership with Columbia Pictures. For over 30 years Hanna Barbera produced many successful animated shows, including The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo and The Smurfs. The studio had produced many television movies, specials, theatrical films and commercials. They also won 7 Oscars, Hanna and Barbera won 8 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Barbera was bought by Taft, later named Great American Broadcasting. In the late year of 199, Turner Broadcasting System, who used much of its back catalog to program its new channel, Cartoon Network.
Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs
Snow White is a 1937 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions.
He was an American cartoonist and animator. He was largely by his successors such as Walt Disney amongst other people. He started out as a newspaper cartoonist, achieving a national reputation for his strips 'Little Nemo'. Lotte Reiniger Born July 1899 in Berlin, Germany.
Stop motion animation, or stop frame animation, is animation that is captured one frame at a time with inanimate objects or actual people moved between frames. After you have created your sequence of image and playback all of it - it will create the illusion of movement. The most basic process of this animation involves taking a photograph of your objects/ characters, moving them a little bit and taking another photograph. When playing back the images, the objects or characters will appear to move on their own.
Cell Based animation
Cell animation is used in the production of cartoons or animated movies. Each frame of the scene is drawn by hand. A full length film that is produced with cell animation would often require a million - plus drawings to complete the entire feature film. Usually cell animations create movement by showing 24 frames per second.It's common to draw a frame by placing a blank sheet or cell, over the previous frame; this is done to create a smoother movement in between frames.
Cell based animation is where each single cell is reproduced and different variations are made as the next cell. This continues until there's a series of cells. This gives the appearance of movement.
As my example is Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, all cells were hand drawn and painted.
. Cut out animation
Cutout animation is a technique used for producing stop-motion animations by using some flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from different materials such as newspapers, magazines, different fabrics, and photographs. This technique is the most simplest form and variation of animation.
Model Based Animation
Model based animation is made by using different 3D objects and moving them to a sequence. The models are most commonly made with clay and plasticine, these are the most popular types of materials used for animation as they can be easily moulded into many different shapes.
Pixillation
Pixillation is a stop motion technique where real living actors are used as a frame-by-frame object in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames, the actor then becomes a sort of living stop motion puppet.
Time Lapse Animation
Time lapse is a technique whereby a film's frames have been captured in a slower space of time which used to view the sequence. When the video has been captured and played in normal speed, time appears to be moving faster (so it is lapsing). An example of this is that an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second; there is obviously a 30 times speed increase.
Zoetrope
Zoetrope is one of several pre-film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion and a sequence of either drawings or photographs. This piece of equipment you could say is a cylinder object that has vertical slits cut into the sides on the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As you look through the Zoetrope, while it's spinning you can see the pictures creating the illusion of a moving image as well as a story.
The picture to the left is a Zoetrope.
Thaumatrope
Thaumatrope is a toy of some sort that was popular in the 19th Century. It is a disk with a picture on each side which is attached to 2 pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers, the 2 pictures appear to turn into one whole due to the users vision.
Kinetoscope
The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device; it was designed for films to be viewed by one individual at a time through a peephole viewer window at the top of the device. Invented by Thomas A. Edison and William Dickson in the US in 1891.
A strip of film was passed rapidly between a lens and an electric light bulb while the viewer peered through a peephole on the device. Behind that was a spinning wheel with a narrow slit that had the acting of a shutter, giving a view of each of the 46 frames passing in front of the shutter every second.
