Question

What do you mean by the term Cel Animation. Briefly explain it?

Answer 1

Cel Animation: Whenever creating an animation by using this process, each and every feature is drawn on an individual piece of transparent paper. A background is also drawn on an individual piece of opaque paper. Then whenever it comes to shooting the animation, the different features are overlaid on top of the background in each and every frame. This process as well saves time in that the artists do not have to draw in whole frames, however instead just the paths that require changing similar to individual features. Even separate parts of a feature’s body are position on separate pieces of transparent paper.
