Where animation is used ?

television 

Animation are commonly used in cartoon programs or shows . Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is flexibility .

simulation 
Many times it is much cheaper to train people to use certain machines on a virtual environment (i.e. on a computer simulation), than to actually train them on the machines themselves. Simulations of all types that use animation are supposed to respond to real-time stimuli, and hence the events that will take place are non-deterministic. The response to real-time stimuli requires a fast response and the non-determinism, requires a fast system to deal with it. This means that speed is the most important factor in simulation systems.

 Scientific Visualisation

Graphical visualisation is very common in all areas of science. The usual form that is takes is x-y plots and when things get more complicated three dimensional graphs are used. However there are many cases that something is more complex to be visualised in a three dimensional plot, even if that has been enhanced with some other effect (e.g. colour). Here is where animation comes in. Data is represented in multiple images (frames) which differ a little from each other, and displayed one after the other to give the illusion of motion. This adds a fourth dimension and increases the information conveyed. Speed here is again the most important factor, as huge sets of data might have to be displayed in real-time. Someone might argue, that results maybe filmed and played back, but that depends on how often the sequence has to be recalculated. For example it might take a few days or weeks to generate an animation of a fractal, which zooms in slowly, and it might be distressing to realise that it has zoomed in at the wrong place.

Animation technique 
Animation across two digital sectors such as gaming and moving images . Animation in gaming are use to be interact with and a cartoon drawing simulation .
Animation in moving images are use to show a movie to the audience which mean the drawing of the animation is moving to give it life. This can be achieved in many ways using different techniques:

Rotoscoping: Rotoscoping is where live actors are filmed and the animation is then created using them as a template. In traditional animation production, the filmed images are traced by hand onto a separate roll of celluloid film. This technique makes the movement of characters more realistic and was used in Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Also i have used rotoscoping in my task which was given to animate a moving monkey frame by frame as its moving .
These images were then used as references for the Disney animators to help them visualize the scenes, postures and movements to draw. Here is a series of unusual images and videos from this technique, overlaying the images shot with drawings created by animators!

Cel animation : For cel animation, each picture is drawn onto a cel. As with the other animation techniques we’ve looked at, each picture is different from the last. When the film is run at speed over a light, the images are projected and give the illusion of movement.
