3. What is Animation? IIIIllusion of movement using one frame at a time. OOOOriginally done on chalkboards. NNNNow done on paper or computer.

4. History of Traditional Animation TTTTwo of the traditional masters of animation were Tex Avery and Chuck Jones. TTTTex Avery – Unique style of exaggerating animation. He worked for Warner Bros., MGM, and Lantz. CCCChuck Jones – Best known for using characterization. Worked for Warner Bros. and MGM.

5. History of Computer Animation SSSStarted in the late 1970’s, but became well known in the mid-1980’s. NNNNew computers came out that gave the ability to do polygon animation, which increase the quality of animations. IIIIn 1986, Pixar was founded by John Lassenter and Steve Jobs. In 1995, the first fully computer animated feature film, Toy Story, was released.

6. Animating with Alice MMMMade for students that are interested in video games and animation. TTTThis program is named after a character in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. AAAAllows you to create fictional worlds. TTTThis program is mainly used with a mouse, not the keyboard to program.

7. Animation with Maya DDDDeveloped by Alias Software. IIIIs the gold standard in the animation industry. IIIIs very expensive. IIIIs very difficult to learn. It can take months or years to learn.

8. My Product FFFFor my senior product, I created a fictitious world using Alice. MMMMy world includes two parts. PPPPart one is a tortoise getting a cookie. PPPPart 2 features penguins skating on ice and also includes several interactive features like an igloo with a secret scene.

9. Conclusion AAAAnimations has been done for over a hundred years. PPPPrograms like Alice and Maya have helped students to learn computer animation. IIIIt is my hope that this project will put me one step closer to a future career in animation.
