Every child just loves to watch cartoons. Yes, and many adults are concerned about the question: "How to create a cartoon?" In this article, I will teach you some ways in which you can do it yourself. After reading it, you will have a real opportunity to pamper your children with their own works. By the way, all computer cartoons are made using similar technologies.
So, there are several different ways in which you can make animation. The most primitive of them is familiar to many from the school bench. We all painted in the corner of each sheet of a notebook of different men who, when scrolling through a notebook, moved amusingly. Today you can buy such small books at every step. So about how to create a cartoon, you still knew while studying at school.
You can also build a kind of movie camera in the form of a mill. To do this, you need to print the pattern, which is located on the official website of the Kenon company. Glue it so that the blades of this mill rotate with a handle. Place the images on them. Now, when you turn the knob, the shapes on the blades will change. The faster you rotate, the faster the movement will be.
Next, let's talk about how to create a cartoon in more "advanced" ways. Take
a chalkboard. Fix the camera on a tripod so that it covers the entire plane of this board. You can also install it not on a tripod, but on a table, for example. The only requirement is that he does not move. Now draw a picture on this board and take a picture of it. Next, adjust it so that it starts some movement and photograph again. Continue this until the required phase of the character’s movement is completed.
Now we collect all the available frames in turn into one animation having the extension “gif”. There are a lot of programs that do this, so we will not dwell on this in detail. That's it, now you have a little computer cartoon.
We proceed to the next method. The camera is taken again. Take the toy car and take a picture of it. After that, move a little and take a picture again. Do this until your toy vehicle has traveled the necessary distance. When you view these frames on your computer, you will see that the car is driving. You can collect all these pictures into the animation with the same program as in the previous method.
The only thing I want to draw your attention to is that any movie is now made of twenty-five frames per second. Therefore, for five seconds of your cartoon, you will need to make one hundred twenty-five frames (the same number of times you will need to move the machine). Occupation, of course, is not quick, but there is a way to make life a bit easier. Reduce the number of frames in one second in the settings. This will increase the time of your film, but at the same time you may get the effect of “twitching”.
Of course, these are far from all methods. But now you know the basics of how to create a cartoon yourself.
