 What is Cel Animation?
 A planning process, animators, assign draft pictures
onto sheer sheets of plastic called Cels.

 Each Cel emphasizes one painting with an edge on one

side of the plastic, and the color is filled in on the
opposite.

 Although today’s 2D and 3D animation adopt several

techniques from Cel Animation, the work is virtually
exclusive done on workstations, but digital software is
used to speed up the process.
 The Cel Animation Process
 Cel animation is a lengthy, costly method that requires the
involvement of a large team.

 The forecast begins with a script and is given to a

storyboard creator.

 While each Cel is being inked and colored, more designers

are active at performance, generating the backgrounds for
each scene.

 These two processes are performed in order and deliver the

final animation.
1. Substances Used In Cel Animation

 Cel animation and the development of substitute

are intimately connected.

 Without thin layers of flexible, translucent, and

colorless plastic, it would have nevermore remained
achievable.
 Flammable and prone to degeneration with age, it
would yellow, crinkle, and expel dangerous gasses
in a short period.

 The acetate remained much longer than its ancestor

but ultimately corrupted.

 Due to its chemical composition, it freed an acid

vinegar that was generally known as vinegar
syndrome.
 2. The Transition To Digital
 CAPS was a mutual investment between Pixar and
Disney produced to digitize cel animation and
lessen the cost of animation without devoting
quality.

 The system supported artists to digitally burden the

animator’s sketches and do the inking and coloring
process on a computer.
 Animators and studios have particular likings in
workflow with amazing fancying to draw designs
by hand, while others are abandoning pen and
paper uniquely.

 These times the only significant use of Cel animation

is done by students studying old techniques.
