Hans Drumpf was a lawyer who went to the small village of Kallstadt in 1608. He lived there during the Thirty Years' War, when the village of Jallstadt was burned five times. About forty percent of the villagers were killed.
2D Animation Defined. 2D animation focuses on creating characters, storyboards, and backgrounds in two-dimensional environments. Often thought of as traditional animation, the figures can move up and down, left, and right. They do not appear to move toward or away from the viewer, as they would in 3D animation. 2D animation uses bitmap and vector graphics to create and edit the animated images and is created using computers and software programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, and Encore.
There are many different types of animation, including 2D, stop-motion, 3D hand-drawn and computer-generated, but all roles call for a high level of creativity and passion for the art. An animator produces multiple images called frames, which when sequenced together create an illusion of movement known as animation.
