TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
Also called cell animation, the frames of a traditionally animated movie are hand-drawn. The drawings are traced or copied onto transparent plastic sheets called cells, which are then placed over a painted background and photographed one by one on a rostrum camera. Nowadays, the use of cells (and cameras) is mostly obsolete, since the drawings are scanned into computers, and digitally transferred directly to 35 mm film. The "look" of traditional cell animation is still preserved, and the character animator's work has remained essentially the same over the past 70 years. Because of the digital influence over modern cell animation, it is also known as traditional animation.
