Animation

Animation means the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist. Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
There is no single person who can be considered the "creator" of the art of film animation, as there were several people doing several projects which could be considered various types of animation all around the same time. Stop-motion animation is used to describe animation created by physically manipulating real-world objects and photographing them one frame of film at a time to create the illusion of movement. There are many different types of stop-motion animation, usually named after the type of media used to create the animation. Computer software is widely available to create this type of animation.

Cinema 4d

The program Cinema 4D is simple but complicated all at the same time. You can make a simple planet or something complicated like a spaceship. Its all how you look at it. You can make a spaceship out of a sphere or the eiffel tower out a cone. The Cinema 4D is for the complex mind and the willing to learn individual. When I first tried Cinema 4D I was lost in the he complexisity if the program the extrude, animation, etc. For example movies like ICE AGE and video games like GEARS OF WAR, it takes alot of time and effort and alot of rendering to make the movie of game complete. The average CGI movie takes at least 2 years to make a movie, a complicated CGI movie like transformers took ten years to make because of the movement of the animated characters and the real life likeness.
CGI if you dont know stands for Computed- Generated Imagery is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects in films, television programs, commercials simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. Video games usually use real-time computer graphics (rarely referred to as CGI)[citation needed], but may also include pre-rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications. These are sometimes referred to as FMV (Full motion videos)
