The purpose of the thesis was to describe the preparation and execution procedures of animation, and based on these, to create a short 2D classic animation. It is a "frame-by-frame" animation technique, which means that each individual image of the animation is drawn by hand.
The theoretical part of the thesis described the history of animation and the devices used for this purpose in the past. In the next segment, the first animated films were briefly described, followed by an overview of various types of animation, from classic 2D to technologically advanced 3D. This was followed by the 12 principles of animation, and then a description of the programs used to create animation. The theoretical part concluded with a brief explanation of the animation creation process.
In the experimental section, each step in the process of creating the final product was explained in detail. First, the development of the idea was described, where it was necessary to include the drama triangle in a simple and logical way. Then followed the process of creating the character and the backgrounds, the creation of the script and storyboard, and finally a detailed explanation of the post-production process, which included everything from merging individual frames into animation, to editing the sound and voiceover. The creative decisions for the placement of individual frames in the animation were also explained, which included the composition of individual scenes, the use of light and dark tones for contrast, and the placement of the camera.
