 What I Need to Know

ANIMATIONS are created from a sequence of still images. The images are
displayed rapidly in succession so that the eye is fooled into perceiving continuous
motion. In multimedia, animation is regarded as an important and useful tool for
communicating information.

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the nature of INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
(ICT) – ANIMATION (Exploratory). The scope of this module is to help you understand
how to Prepare Hand Tools and Equipment – (TLE_ICTAN9-12UT-Ib-1) used in
animation.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. differentiate traditional and computer-generated animation;

2. identify the common types of animation popular nowadays;
3. list the tools and equipment used in animation; and
4. describe the function of each tool in the animation process.

In going through the module, you have to extend your patience in understanding
and analysing what you are reading. Follow the directions and/or instructions in the
activities. Answer the entire given test and exercises carefully. Comply the required
activities provided.

(UT) I
3 LO1. Prepare hand tools and equipment in animation

What’s In

In our previous lesson, you have learned how to recognize the potential
customer/market in Animation which includes key concepts in identifying and
understanding the consumer. To test whether you really understand the previous
lesson let’s have a short activity.

Directions. Before we will proceed to our lesson, give at least three (3) qualities that
will satisfy a customer. Write your answers on your TLE-Animation Activity Notebook.

What’s New

This lesson will help you to learn the Animator’s basic tools and equipment on
when and how to use them. For you to become a good animator, using the different
tools and equipment will help you come up with an appealing and quality output.

 What is It

Types of Animation
 Traditional Animation – an animation technique where each frame is drawn by
hand. This is also called classical animation or cel
animation. This type of animation uses specialized
materials and equipment for artists and animators.

 Computer-Generated Animation – an animation technique that is purely digital

and created primary with computers. CG Animators use
high powered computers to create 3D animations.

Tools and Equipment

In computer-generated animation, most tools needed are software-based.
However, the drawing paper and pen, special pencils, and other traditional tools can
still be useful in your goal of developing your own animation film. Below are the tools
and equipment used in traditional animation.

Tool Description

A. Peg Bar It is made of plastic or metal. It

is used to hold the animation paper
in place and is designed to allow as
minimal movement as possible as
the animator is doing the artwork.

7
[Link] and Cel Any form of paper in which
animation should be drawn as long
as it is translucent and big enough
to flip. It should be punched to fit
the peg bars.

Cel is a transparent film where

colors can be painted to combine
as one film.

C. Scanner

It is an input device that is used

as an alternative to camera.

D. Eraser It is used to remove pencil

markings on the paper. It is
important for an animator to have
an eraser to polish unnecessary
marks cleanly.

E. Sharpener

It is used to sharpen a pencil’s

lead by shaving away its wood
surface.

8
F. Ruler

It is a measuring tool used to

measure the lengths of lines
allowing accurate scale drawing.

G. Pencil It is used to rough out first key

drawings. It comes with different
type that allows the animator to
perform his/her task in the drawing
stage process.

H. Lightbox It is used to clearly though all the

layers of drawings since animation
work is concerned with slight
changes of movement from
drawing to drawing.

I. Graticule or 12” Field Chart

It is a grid system used to

accurately create field guides in
the layout.

9
J. Bar Sheets and Dope Sheets

It is a traditional animation tool

that enables an animator to
organize his/her thinking and give
instructions to the cameraman on
the shots needed. Also known as
x-sheet or exposure sheet.

K. Production Folder It is an essential for large scale

studio productions that the dope
sheet instructions for each scene
can be kept separate from each
other. Dope sheet information can
be stapled into the folder.

L. Paper and Cel Punch Each animation is registered by

placing each sheet or cel
consecutively on standardized
registration pegs so it does not
move in relation to other sheets.
For beginners, you can use an
ordinary office hole puncher
available from any office supply
stores.

M. Digital/Video Camera

It is used to record and store

images that will be imported to
computer.

10
 What’s More

Directions. Match up the tools/equipment to the correct pictures and complete the
crossword. Write the complete word on your TLE-Animation Activity Notebook.

11
 What I Have Learned

Directions. In your TLE-Animation Activity Notebook, answer the questions in a

paragraph form.

1. What is the difference between traditional and computer generated animation?

Briefly discuss in 2-3 sentences.

2. What are the tools used in creating an animation?

What I Can Do

Directions. In your TLE-Animation Activity Notebook, draw at least five (5) pictures of
different tools and equipment in animation. Label and give your short description in
your own words.

Great Job!
