Compare & Contrast (Early Animation & Flash/Modern Animation)

   Although early animation and flash animation are different, they have some similarities. For one, both types of animation used the same ideal of using frames. However, in early animations, people had to draw out every single frame to create the illusion of movement. In flash animations people simply set the settings of how they want an object to move and their programs will automatically do it for them.
   Flash animations use drawings too but early animators used chalkboards and ink pens. Mostly because they obviously did not have computers or pencils back then. Early animations also had a different style of characters than the style that modern animators have. Flash animations can be made in a much, much shorter time than early animations. Early animations took a lot more time and effort. Stop-motion animation is used in both early works of animation and modern works of animation.
   All in all, modern animation is a lot easier to make than the animations from back then.
