Top Ten Movies

Animation films are basically made with the help of 3D animation. 3D animation referred as three-dimensional images created as frames. These frames are made individually and by various ways like computers, photographing, painted images etc. When these image frames are arranged in continue regular manner, it creates a motion picture. These sequential frames generate an illusion of moving picture. Also by doing small changes in model components and catching this in special animated camera, animation is made. In this process computer plays a vital role because computer help to give a live images and graphics. In advance computers provide software to simplify doing 2D and 3D animation. Animation is a moving art which run individual frames one after another which help to create a persistent vision. So computer software can form a frame area to arrange frames, compiled it and create compact files which run frames sequentially to show a animated moving picture.

In many animated movies different characters or objects are used. So to make animated movie every one have knowledge about Kinematics. Kinematics is a property of motion related to time like acceleration, position, velocity. Also kinematics is not depending on the related forces which produce the motion. Articulated figure, effectors, geometric, physical dimension, behavior of frames and Motion Control Methods (MCM) these are necessary to study. Forward kinematics system is set the motion of joints of characters explicitly by animator i.e. animator set the shoulder, arms, elbow, fore arm, hand, eye and lips. In Inverse kinematics system animator set the end effecter and the system computer make related moves.

As we see the history of Animation pictures, at that time normal pictures were photographed to make a short clip. This process was so long and thousands of images were used for a single minute of short film. But now a time the animation industry invent easier and better ways Therefore, animation movies are easily made using 2D and 3D images at the home.

So simple steps to make an animated movie:

1. Figure out fair theme for your movie.
2. Imagine characters needed in film as per the theme subject like comedy or action.
3. Create a story board with your rough drawing to develop the plot.
4. Lay out your script to create like characters. So write your script with all details and small counts. Write dialogues effectively.
5. Now create a profile for your character.
6. Decide technique to animate the movie and go for it.

In this way any one can make their own animated movie. There are two ways of animation techniques:  Flipbooks and traditional method. Flipbook is cost effective but not featured effective. While traditional animation is costly and time consuming but gives good quality. Once movie is completed editing is started to come up with a good errorless product. Now a movie is ready to come in market.
