Core Animation: Simplified Animation Techniques for Mac and iPhone Development

There are four basic techniques to be used in animation.

These are:

• Drawn animation

• Cut-out animation

• Model animation or stop motion animation

• Computer animation or computer generated imagery (CGI)

(1) Drawn animation– Drawn animation, also termed as traditional animation and classical animation, is the oldest and historically the most prevalent form of animation. In a traditionally-animated cartoon, each frame is drawn by hand. This encloses any form, where one drawing is put back by another in a progression. Each drawing is somewhat unusual from the one which is placed before.

Animated films are made up of thousands of drawings, depicted on screen very rapidly one after the other. It works in the same manner as the flip book does.

(2) Cut-out animation– The world’s earliest known animated feature film was cutout animations, made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani. By using flat characters, such as—strings, stiff fabric, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper; and by using buttons, matchsticks or even photographs, you can create cut-out animation. It embraces any figure of animation where cut-out forms be in motion or substitute by the other cut-outs.

(3) Model animation or stop motion animation– Model animation is a form of stop motion animation designed to merge with live action footage to create the illusion of a real-world fantasy sequence.

By using materials, such as—clay, wire that can be bent or formed into another shape, you can create model animation. This engrosses the filming of puppets or any other form of three-dimensional models. Before moving slightly and screening, it is placed, filmed and than these shots are placed jointly as a section of the film and will give the hallucination of moving models.  Read more...

Breast reconstruction is a vital component of the overall treatment plan of breast cancer patients. In some countries breast reconstruction is required by law. It is being performed with increasingly sophisticated techniques to optimize the appearance, and feel of the reconstructed breast limit donor site morbidity and provide a long term result. The use of autologous tissue allows the reconstruction of a breast which looks and feels most like a normal breast. The advent of perforator flaps now allows for minimal donor site morbidity and good flap durability. The abdomen is an ideal source of tissue for breast reconstruction. Most patients who develop breast cancer are at an age when they also have excess skin and fat overlying the abdomen. The fat is typically soft and easy for the surgeon to shape and closely approximates the feel of a normal breast. In addition, an added bonus of an abdominal donor site for most patients is the improved abdominal contour after flap harvest which approximates that of an abdominoplasty or ‘tummy tuck’ while minimizing donor site morbidity.

The DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) flap is a central component in the state-of-the-art practice of breast reconstruction and usually our first choice of flap from the abdomen. The soft tissue can be transferred from the abdomen safely through this the construction of a new breast without the sacrifice of rectus muscle or fascia. Perforator flaps such as the DIEP flap can trace their origins back to the work of Stuart Milton in the 1960s. At that time, wound closure flaps were random pattern flaps based on the geometric principle of a length to width ratio of approximately 1.5′1. Using a porcine model, Dr Milton in 1970 and 1971 demonstrated that flaps of a much greater length to width ratio could be elevated safely when based on a known underlying vessel. This led to the concept of the axial pattern pedicle flap, which was first reported in MacGregor and Jackson’s description of a groin flap in 1972. Later, in 1982, Hartrampf would use the pedicle flap concept to transfer abdominal tissue to the chest for reconstruction mammoplasty using the superior epigastric artery and the rectus abdominus muscle as a carrier.  Read more...
