politicians and celebrities, instantly gauging the mood of the nation,
bemoaning the state of affairs and at times even appreciating the
countrys rare achievement.The 3D animated version of the ad featuring
the girl clad in polka-dot dress will be humorous.

indicated that the plan is to bring out animated ads based on current
events. That is the one advantage of choosing animation over real
visuals. The basic settings will be ready in different combinations so
that the core theme can be changed at will, said a source.
Amul
has already approached top advertising agencies in the country to
create its video advertisement. After a preliminary screening, a few
agencies have been shortlisted. Toonz Animations, a Technopark-based
animation institute, is among the shortlisted agencies. Creative minds
at Toonz are racking their brains to bring out sample clips that may
charm the officials at Anand and also millions of fans across the globe.

Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
