Styles: animation techniques (next batch)¶
Styles 22 to 33 come from classic animation techniques. Each one is a way of moving through a page, not a skin.
Shipped: flipbook, pop-up-book, pinscreen, sand, zoetrope. Dropped: rotoscope (styles 22 to 27)¶
| Style | Technique | What moving through the page does |
|---|---|---|
pinscreen |
Alexeieff and Parker's pinscreen (1933) | A wall of pins whose shadows form the image; scroll pushes the pins into the next picture, the pointer presses them |
sand |
Sand animation (Caroline Leaf) | One continuous sand picture; your swipe or scroll brushes it into the next scene |
zoetrope |
Zoetrope, praxinoscope | A spinning drum; the faster you scroll, the more it comes alive, slow down and it breaks into frames |
flipbook |
Flipbook | You thumb the corner and the page flips through drawn frames |
pop-up-book |
Pop-up book | Each section is a spread; open it and the scene folds up out of the page |
rotoscope |
Rotoscoping (A Scanner Darkly, "Take On Me") | Film and images traced live into ink; real motion with a hand-drawn line |
To do (styles 28 to 33)¶
-
stop-motion(shipped): everything moves on twos with a slight jitter (paper, felt, real objects nudged per frame). -
paper-cut-out(shipped): flat paper layers on hinged joints, Monty Python and Lotte Reiniger silhouettes. -
paint-on-glass(shipped): one living painting that morphs scene to scene with visible brushstrokes (Petrov, Loving Vincent). -
multiplane(shipped): Disney's multiplane camera, painted glass layers with real depth and focus pulls between them. -
scratch-film(shipped): drawn and scratched straight onto film stock (McLaren, Len Lye), jittery, colourful, synced to sound. -
smears(shipped): Spider-Verse timing, on twos, smear frames, comic textures and mixed media.
