Unit 7 time based media Glossary terms

Time-Based Art: contemporary art works include video, film, slide, audio or computer-based technologies as well as traditional processes of image making.

Kinetic Art: is art that depends on motion for its effects e.g. Alexander Calder ‘Antennae with Red and Blue Dots’ 1960.

Other Keywords:

Stop frame animation: is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement.

Stop motion: Onion skinning: Stop motion is a cinematographic technique whereby the camera is repeatedly stopped and started, for example to give animated figures the impression of movement.
Onion Skinning/skins are visual tools to help make animation easier. They allow the animator to view multiple frames at the same time.

Meditate and synthesis of an image: Image synthesis is the process of creating new images from some form of image description.

Silhouette: the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible in restricted light against a brighter background.

Zoetrope: a 19th-century optical toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of continuous motion.

Flick book animation: A flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change.

Time-lapse: the photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed the action seems much faster.
