FAQ About The Evolution of Animation Techniques in Film and TV
What is cel animation and how did it change the industry?
Cel animation is a technique where characters are drawn on transparent acetate sheets (cels) and laid over static background images. This allowed for greater efficiency as only the moving parts needed to be redrawn for each frame. Introduced in 1915, this method revolutionized the industry by reducing the time and resources required for frame production, and enabled studios like Disney to produce more elaborate and higher-quality films.
