	Cutout animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs.
		Today, cutout-style animation is often produced using computers, with scanned images or vector graphics taking the place of physically cut materials.
		One of the most famous animators that are still using cutout animation today is Yuriy Norshteyn.

	animation - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result.
		Because animation is very time-consuming and often very expensive to produce, the majority of animation for TV and movies comes from professional animation studios.
		The first animated cartoon was from Frenchman mile Reynaud, who created praxinoscope, animation system of 12 pictures, and films of about 500~600 pictures, projected on its own thatre optique, system near from modern film projector, at Muse Grvin in Paris, France, the october 28, 1892.

	Silhouette animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Silhouette animation is one of many forms of stop motion and is also a simplified variation of graphic animation, which involves the frame-by-frame moving of cut out graphic shapes.
		When backlit instead, the cutout animation becomes a series of simplified dark (fl) images, and is referred to as silhouette animation, used by German animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger for The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first feature-length animated film, made in 1923.
		Silhouette animation is rarely used as its own art form, except for brief dramatic or comedic scenes in a few cutout animation films, such as when a character turns the lights out in an episode of South Park.

		Claymation and puppet animation involve the frame-by-frame movement of a 3-D model, aka stop-action animation or pixelation.
		When animations get scaled down to 160 by 120, you lose a lot of the subtleties, so keep in mind the animation size you will ultimately be working in when designing, and avoid the use of too much fussy detail.
		Animation is just an exaggeration of reality, but it really helps to have some good, hard examples of that reality as a springboard.

		Animation, in the technical sense is the technique by which each frame of a movie or film is produced individually through different methods like generating them as computer graphics, photographing drawn images or even making small changes to a model and then photographing them.
		Animation has been in existence from the 1950s, when most of the animation was produced by independent studios or individuals.
		There are different styles of animation in existence now like the traditional, rotoscoping, computer animation, cutout animation, motion capture, limited animation all of them developed over the years using different technologies.

	Performing Animation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		What all forms of animation have in common is that they create some kind of perceived motion by showing successive frames at a relatively high speed.
		By comparison, traditional hand-drawn animation uses anywhere from 8 frames per second (for poor quality animation) to 12 frames per second (for standard animation) to 24 frames per second (for short bursts of smooth, realistic motion).
		In the traditional animation world, this is known as cutout animation, since it's generally accomplished by cutting a shape out of paper and moving the shape in front of the camera.

	Animation Summary - Animation Information
		Animation is the art by which two-dimensional drawings or inanimate objects are turned into moving visual representations of three-dimensional (3-D) life.
		Animation can be described as the creation of the illusion of motion through a rapid sequence of still images.
		To create cutout animation, an artist cuts actors and scenes out of paper, overlays them, and moves them, and captures their images frame by frame, again using stop-motion animation.

	Cutout Animation
		Cut-out animation is one of the oldest forms of animation and in pre computer days, probably the easiest to create.
		As its name implies, cut-out animation involves moving cut-out shapes in small steps and taking a picture at each stage, this is a lot less work than having to draw every single frame of the animation.
		An example of this is "Creatoon", more information can be found at the Creatoon web site and the UK based The Cut-Out Animation Company is one of many using this software to produce professional work.

		The process for generating CGI animated projects is very similar in many ways to traditional animation, with some subtle but significant differences in production procedures.
		It is important to keep in mind that unlike traditional 2D animation, which follows a fully established path, CGI production is still in the midst of defining and standardizing its processes.
		Depending on the style of the CGI show -- for example, cutout animation versus 3D -- the software used and the actual production process is different.
