ANIMATION 1
In Animation 1, students learn about the history of animation and the techniques associated with it. They learn traditional animation skills like rotoscoping, stop-motion, and cel animation and combine them with digital programs like Adobe After Effects and Photoshop.
At the beginning, students learn about the history of animation, the 12 Principles of Animation, and The Bouncing Ball animation.
Rotoscope Animation
Rotoscope was created in 1915 by two brothers, Max and Dave Fleischer. Walt Disney and Looney Tunes used this animation style, and Texas filmmaker Richard Linklater currently uses it. At Sachse High School, our first-year Animation students learn this early rotoscope technique using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop.
Cel Animation
Cel Animation is a form of 2D animation in which animators hand-draw and paint each cell. Today, 2D animation is known as 2D Plus Animation because of the use of drawing tablets, where artists use digital methods to hand draw and paint animations.
Stop Motion Animation
Stop motion is one of the oldest forms of animation, from cutouts to puppets, claymation, and figures. The students learn about the history of stop motion, how it started, and where it's gone from TV shows, movies, and even commercials. Then, they take their knowledge of stop-motion and the 12 Principles of Animation to create narrative stop-motion stories.
