Our first session was held on 18th September 2018, with four people's attendance. Dr. J had explained and briefed us about the course information which we will go through this semester. Below are some short notes taken from the lecture.
What is animation?
A simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
BASIC CONCEPTS OF ANIMATION
- Keyframe
- Main frame
- Twinning
- Onion Skinning
- to ease animators to work with layers
- Frame by Frame
- cell animation
- frame by frame + tweening (smooth product)
- Frame Rate
- measurement of the frequencey
- usual fps (12-15 fps)
GROUP ACTIVITY
IMPORTANT NOTES!
- FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION
- creates illusion of movement
- changes content of the stage in every frame
- image changes in every frame instead of simply moving across the stage
- increases file size more rapidly than tweened animation

SELF-REFLECTION
Based on that day's lecture, we were exposed with basic information and brief information which i found very important for a beginner level animator like me. There are more and more terms and practical exercises to be done. Toon Boom Harmony will be used as the software for us to produce our animation later on. The above terms are very basic terms that an animator must know and empower before proceeding to the next stage.
