Experimental Animation

Whichever of the many and varied techniques is used, making an animated film always involves constructing it frame by frame. When projected, these frames create an illusion of movement. Movement is created from still images. Once the movement has been recorded on film, video, bytes or by means of some other process or system yet to be invited, the animator’s objective and passion are to alter. The comment method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program. There are also several forms of presenting in animation.
Experimentation is vital to the continued growth of animation, whether carried out by the committed or the animation film maker. They seeks experimental animation to develop the art and improve their personal skills.

Norman McLaren, who has become over a period of years the best known originator of abstract or near-abstract animation, claims that his approach to each new film is experimental in the sense that he wants to explore his own particular field of work still further. An experimental animation or film grows out for animator own individual techniques. The using of creative media to create an experimental animation is endless and no limitation. Such as:

Cut-out animation

Cut-out animation involves moving cut-out shapes in small steps and taking a picyure at each
stage, this is a lot less works than having to draw every single frame of animation.

Sand animation

Sand animation is a creative way to use sand, music, and a story to create amazing imagery.
Sand animation is simply the art of using one’s hand to draw with sand. Artist creat their master pieces by adding or removing sand from glass. By using both positive and negative space, amazing images come to life before the audience.

Paint on Glass animation

Paint-on glass animation is a technique for making animated films by manipulating some kind of wet media. Oil paint is most often used because it dries very slowly; enable animator to keep working with the media.

Silhouette animation

Silhouette animation is animation in which the character are only as black silhouettes. This is usually accomplished by backlighting articulated cardboard cut-outs, though other methods exist.

Model animation

Model animation is a form of stop motion animation designed to merge with live action footage to create the illusion of a real-world fantasy sequence.

Go motion

Go motion is a variation of stop motion animation, and was co-developed by industrial Light & Magic and Phil Tippett for the 1980 George Lucas film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Object animation

Object animation is a form of stop motion animation that involves the animated movement of any non-drawn objects such as toys, blocks, dolls, ect, which are not fully malleable, such as clay or wax, and not designed to look like a recognizable human or animal character.

Graphic animation

Graphic animation is a variation of stop motion( and possibly more conceptually associated with traditional flat cel animation and paper drawing animation, but still technically qualifying as stop motion) consisting of the animation of photographs (in whole or in parts) and other non-drawn flat visual graphic material, such as newspaper and magazine clippings.

Puppet animation

Puppetry is a form of theatre or performance which involves the manipulation of puppets. Most puppetry involves storytelling. Puppet animation means puppet have been used extensively in animated films since 1946.

Clay animation

Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is ‘deformable’- made of a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession.

There are many techniques produce animation. Besides, the suitable of theme is important in giving the strong feeling to audience.
