Our courses offered in the area of traditional animation are based off of popular techniques used in classical animation and stop-motion animation. In traditional animation, you can create a movie by taking pictures of a drawing or clay model frame-by-frame and then playing all the pictures extra fast to give the illusion that they are moving! Some 2D examples of traditional animation include: flip books, Disney movies, and early cartoons. Some 3D examples of traditional animation includes: claymation, cut-out paper animation, and puppet animation.
