Animationgal26 is a place to watch and learn to create movies from unmoving images or moving images. The images are put together one after another, and then played at a fast speed to give the appearance of movement. Animation is a way of  using your creativity to produce a remarkable creation. This website is to show you what people are capable of and to inspire the creativity inside you.

A person who creates animations is called an animator.

There are three ways to animate:


 * 1) Draw each frame
 * 2) Use stop-motion: make a model scene and change it to create a new image (frame)
 * 3) Make computer graphics

Overview
Because it is expensive to make, most animation comes from professional companies. However, independent animators have existed since the 1950s in America, with many of those people entering the professional industry. In Europe, the independent movement has existed since the 1910s, with animators like pre-revolutionary Russia's Ladislas Starevich and Germany's Lotte Reiniger.

On the internet, many people use a computer program called Flash to create animations. Flash uses a combination of drawing and computer graphics to make animations. Many animations on the internet are made in Flash. Most animators on the internet do not work for professional companies.

On television an often used genre (type) of animation is called limited animation. It is used by popular companies such as UPA and Hanna-Barbera Productions. Limited animation is drawn with not a lot of movement in it. This makes the images easier to draw. This type is used to lower the cost of making animations. It also helps to make production of animation faster.
