Welcome to TechStiPTH, a production of I Heart Radio's How Stuff Works.

Hey there and welcome to Tech Stuff. I'm your host Jonathan Strickland. I'm an

executive producer with How Stuff Works in I Heart Radio and I love all

things Tech and it is time for another classic episode of Tech Stuff.

This episode is called How Hand Drawn Animation Works.

It originally published on October 17, 2012. And I'm a huge fan of animation. I love animation I think when it's done

well it can be an incredible art form one of my favorite films of the recent past is

Into the Spider-verse, a truly gorgeous animated movie, although not necessarily talking just about hand-drawn animation in that respect.

But I thought it would be good to look back on this and kind of get an appreciation on how this stuff works.

So let's listen in as Chris and I

go down the path to understanding hand-drawn animation.

Today we wanted to talk about the traditional hand-drawn animation process.

What goes into it? Why does it work?

And how has it changed over the years?

And we were specifically focusing on hand-drawn animation because I think we may have I know

we've talked about computer animation in previous podcast I don't think we've done a full episode on it but

uh... but the two disciplines are different enough where I think it warrants two different podcasts.

Yeah, I have done some research on it just by accident, just because I was interested in a topic from time to time

and I started thinking about it the other day when I saw something and suggested it.

It's very different in quite a few ways from computer animation and Jonathan and I like to talk about how old styles of tech have affected us and the kinds of things that people used to do.

You know, there are some very famous studios that have gone computer only these days,

but some of the very same studios were pioneers in some of the amazing tech that went into making a piece of hand-drawn animation look very realistic.
