Animation is a method in which figures are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film.
Today, most animations are made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation (which may have the look of traditional animation) can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth, or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two and three-dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets, or clay figures.
Most animated TV shows that are played on Cartoon Network are done by international production companies that have extensive experience and resources to create the best animated TV shows possible. Msipa’s ‘My Cartoon Friend’ Animated TV Series being picked for the channel shows how the level of production in the animation industry in South Africa has improved over the years and with young people like Msipa steering the way forward means that more young people will get inspired and therefore develop ideas that will also have the same level of quality if not greater.
