Animation Research

I am choosing to explore the animated GIF. There are a few different types of animation that I find interesting, stop motion, still motion, and wiggle stereoscopy.


Stop motion (or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved by small amounts between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames are played as a continuous sequence.

Still motion is a method of displaying many images one after another as frames, using the technique of "Frame-by-Frame", similar to the concept of Stop Motion. The difference between this and Stop motion, however, is that still motion is not a method of animation, but a style of editing. Each frame can be non sequitur. It is often used in horror films to create an intense effect, or used to recall memories. The most common form of still motion now exists as Adobe Flash or Gif animation.



Stereoscopy is any technique capable of recording three-dimensional visual information or creating the illusion of depth in an image.

Wiggle stereoscopy
This method, possibly the simplest stereogram viewing technique, is to simply alternate between the left and right images of a stereogram.
Most people can get a crude sense of dimensionality from such images, due to persistence of vision and parallax.




Various animations that are awesome.
