This blog is going to be about the following things:
-This is one of the oldest forms of animation in film. It’s sometimes called cel animation. in traditional animation, objects are drawn on celluloid transparent paper.
-2D animation can fall under traditional animation like most early Disney movies — Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, Mickey Mouse, etc. But there is something called Vector-based animation that can be 2D and not considered traditional.
-With Vector-based, the motion here can be controlled by vectors rather than pixels.
-Images with familiar formats like JPG, GIF, BMP, are pixel images. These images cannot be enlarged or shrunk without affecting image quality & this is the best thing for editing them. Vector graphics don’t need to worry about the resolution(vectors are characterized by pathways with various start and endpoints, lines connecting these points to build the graphic).
-Shapes can be created to form a character or other image.
-You can also check out the 2D animations that i made on youtube: link
-In 3D animation, the animator uses a program to move the character’s body parts around. They set their digital frames when all of the parts of the character are in the right position. They do this for each frame, and the computer calculates the motion from each frame. From Toy Story in 1995 to today’s Coco, etc. 3D animation has become synonymous with “animation.”
-Motion Graphics are pieces of digital graphics that create the illusion of motion usually for ads, title sequences in films, but ultimately exist to communicate something to the viewer.
-However, instead of drawings, stop motion adjusts physical objects in each frame. If moved in small increments, captured one frame at a time, the illusion of motion is produced. Whether puppets, clay, or even real people, these manual adjustments can make it a long, arduous process. Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, etc are all great examples of stop motion animation films.
IV. MY EXPERIENCE IN ANIMATION:

Once upon a time when I was a rubber tree, I stood on the soil spreading my branches toward the sky. I always wished that I could be something new instead of a tree.
One day, a group of men came and started slicing off my bark. I was writhing with pain. They took the latex that oozed out of my injured bark. It was painful for me but somewhere inside, I believed that destiny was going to turn me into something good, something beautiful, something Big…..
I was taken into a factory where they did long processes on me and turned me into something new. I was changed into a rectangular, flexible green-colored stuff. That’s right!
An Eraser!
A truck driver then came and took me in a neatly packed box. I was really excited about where I was going. Once I reached the shop I was supposed to be delivered to. The shop keeper took me and kept me in a deep, dark storage room. A few days later the shopkeeper took me and kept me outside with other erasers. They soon became my best friends. Even though I still wanted to be taken by someone so I could see the Life Of A True Eraser.
A week later a little girl named Lucie Came with her father to buy an eraser. She saw me and immediately told her father that she wanted to buy me. She put me in a nice bag and took me home. The next day she put me in her pencil pouch and took me to her school. She showed me to all her friends. And was really proud of me.
One day, a bully in Lucie’s class told her “What good is your eraser. It’s just a boring green eraser. Look at mine It’s so bright and colorful”. I felt really bad. But when Lucie supported me, I brightened up and started doing my work very diligently. One by one, I started erasing Lucie’s mistakes. I helped her correct her spelling, grammar, etc.
Slowly and ever so slowly, I found myself diminishing and before I knew it I disappeared leaving behind only a trail of dust.

My dream destination is Moon, I would love to go to the moon because from childhood I have always been fascinated by Moon, its color, its brightness, and Grandma's stories about the moon.
As I grew up, I came to know that the moon is the only satellite of the earth. It is a bright object in the night sky. It does not have any light of its own but reflects the light of the sun. The moon is approximately 238000 miles away from the earth and hence looks small. It takes around twenty-eight days to revolve around the earth and approximately the same time to complete one rotation. The moon has fascinated man since the beginning of his life on the earth. He has looked at it with wonder. Many poets have composed beautiful poems on the moon. Scientists tried to reveal the mystery of the moon. They wanted to send a human to the moon. Several attempts were made to place a man on the moon. At last two Americans-Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin-reached the moon on July 21, 1969. They walked on the surface of the moon and collected the lunar rocks. They returned to the earth safely. The American scientists have sent men to the moon several times. Now the moon has been conquered by man. It is no longer a mysterious object.
Also during the lockdown, I had attended online programs organized by my school about space and life in space. The book on Sunita Williams was part of my subject last year. These have added a sense of curiosity in me and I wanted to be in space and experience the thrill of space. Also on the moon, we cannot walk like on earth because of gravitational attraction and we will be floating or we need to adjust the pressure, I would like to experience that adventure. That’s why I want to be the first to go to the moon!
