English animation: animation, cartoon, cartoon, photography. Among them, the more formal word "animation" comes from the Latin root anima, which means soul; The verb animate is to give life, which means to make something alive. Therefore, animation can be interpreted as the creator's arrangement, so that things that are originally lifeless move like life.
In the early days, China called animation an art film; Now it is called comics internationally.
Lulu and Li Xia's animation is a kind of fantasy art, which is easier to express and express people's feelings intuitively, can turn what is impossible to see in reality into reality, and expand people's imagination and creativity.
Broadly speaking, it is to turn some inactive things into moving images through the production and projection of movies. This is animation. The Chinese name of "Animation" should be said to have originated from Japan. Before and after World War II, Japan called a comic work depicted by a line "animation".
Animation is to divide the expressions, actions and changes of people and things into many frames, and then shoot them into a series of pictures with a camera, thus creating a continuous visual change picture. Its basic principle, like film and television, is visual principle. Medicine has proved that human beings have the characteristic of "visual persistence", that is, after seeing a painting or an object, people's eyes will not disappear within 1/24 seconds. Using this principle, playing before the next painting disappears will give people a smooth visual change effect. Therefore, movies are shot and played at the speed of 24 frames per second, and televisions are shot and played at the speed of 25 frames per second (PAL system, which is used by China TV) or 30 frames per second (NTSC system). If you shoot and play at less than 24 frames per second, there will be a pause.
The way to define animation is not the material used or the way of creation, but whether the work conforms to the essence of animation. Today, animation media has included various forms, but no matter what form, they all have some similarities: their images are recorded one by one in the form of movies, videos or digital information; In addition, the "action" of the image is an illusion created, rather than existing originally.
So far, animation can be divided into two kinds: two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation. Two-dimensional animation is made by software such as flash, and three-dimensional animation is mainly made by maya or 3D MAX. Especially maya, a three-dimensional animation software, has seen a surge in the production of three-dimensional animated films at home and abroad in recent years, and a large number of excellent and shocking three-dimensional animated films have emerged, such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Superman Story, Shrek, Transformers, Kung Fu Panda and Inuyasha.
Animation is the general name and abbreviation of animation and cartoon, which is rarely used in other languages. With the development of modern media technology, cartoons (manga；; In particular, story cartoons are more and more closely linked, and the two are often combined into "animation". Idioms include "anime lovers", "anime exhibition" and "anime industry". There is also a magazine named Animation Chronicle in Chinese mainland, which popularizes this new word to the whole society, especially teenagers. In Japan, Greater China and many other places, Japanese animation is very popular and has gradually become a cultural fashion, so when "animation" is mentioned in Chinese, it usually refers to Japanese animation or Japanese animation. Comics is an English transliteration of Japanese "manga", and now comics themselves also cover the meaning of comic industry. In addition, the Chinese transliteration of the English word cartoon is also a combination of cartoon and animation, but it is sometimes used to refer to American animation and so on. Animation has two artistic characteristics: first, it has language function, even if it is silent, it can express certain meaning; The second is humor, that is, humor or irony.
Before 1996, the word "animation" did not have a unified concept in Chinese mainland, and the two were separated and interrelated. The appearance and popularity of this word originated from 1998, the first domestic animation information magazine, Comic Comic Time. So the word "animation" appeared and gradually became popular among anime fans in China, becoming the general name of animation and comics.
Animation is to personify and exaggerate some inanimate things through production and give them all the feelings and actions of human beings. Or draw the scene overhead to make it real. There are also cartoons depicting scenes of Japanese life. This is also a form of artistic expression. Just as words are expressed in novels, pictures are expressed in paintings.
How do comics exist for us? Comics are usually presented in the form of books and periodicals. They are humorous, easy to read and have a wide readership. They are the most commercialized products in all kinds of publications, and their profits are enviable. Animation, as its name implies, is an active cartoon. In fact, comics laid the foundation for animation. As a part of fine arts, cartoons and animations show human culture and civilization from an artistic point of view and reflect human spirit. Today's world has also formed a situation dominated by the United States and Japan, especially Japan, where Japanese animation has become a symbol of the Japanese nation. However, as a symbol of world culture, the United States has gathered talented artists from all over the world, led by Disney, and created elegant galleries. For children, it should be pure; For adults, it should be beautiful. Comics are also the art of the mind, so they should be eternal beyond thinking. ...

Animation or cartoon refers to the process of playing many still pictures continuously. Although the differences between them are often debated, they are basically the same. Whether still pictures are made by computer or hand-drawing, or the clay sculpture is slightly changed before shooting, when the single frames are connected in series and played at the speed of 16 frames per second, the eyes will have the illusion of continuous motion (caused by visual afterimages). Usually, these films are made by a lot of intensive and boring labor, even though computer animation technology has made great progress and development.
