Few Takes on Animation
Abstract
In the article the term “film animation” is considered in relation to non-animated films. Using the theory of Alan Cholodenko, Flig tries to define the relation between the movement factor (animation) and the image (photograph, frame) of a film. Through the analysis of a number of pre-cinematographic works the author identifies the defining terms of animation. The aim of the article is to answer the questions: What is animation in a non animated film? Is it correct to talk about animation in the context of a non animated film? If so, then what is its status, and how does the animation manifest itself? The answer to these questions lies in the main thesis ofthe article: animation is notjust a film genre, a film sub-category. It is the film that participates in animation, thus gaining its defining element, that element being movement.
