Animation is a fantasy art/fantastic art. It can transform impossible scenes into possible one, and therefore is a better way to showcase and express the emotions of people, and extend human imagination and creativity.
It is commonly thought that the filming subjects in animation are not real. They are either illustrated by animators or generated by computers. In other words, they are things that are created out of thin air. In fact, animation itself and its subjects do not have a direct connection. The true distinction between animation and television is not on instrumental technology (in terms of motion pictures that aregenerated by high speed video or film camera ), but on shooting technique/filming style. Before the invention of 3-D animation, animate technologies are referring to any form of techniques that are used to flim and produce stop motion pictures.Strictly speaking, when a motion picture that is filmmed by stop motion technique, and played in the same manner,this motion picture regardless of its filming subject, is called animation.
