8 Unit 1 Resources: 1. Computer hardware equals the collection of physical elements that constitute a computer system. Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of a computer such as monitor, keyboard, Computer data storage, hard drive disk, mouse, printers, CPU (graphic cards, sound cards, memory, motherboard and chips), etc. all of which are physical objects that you can actually touch. In contrast, software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, application, concepts, and symbols, but it has no substance. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system. 2. Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers. The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations. In practice, almost all computers use a storage hierarchy, which puts fast but expensive and small storage options close to the CPU and slower but larger and cheaper options farther away. Often the fast, volatile technologies (which lose data when powered off) are referred to as "memory", while slower permanent technologies are referred to as "storage", but these terms can also be used interchangeably. In the Von Neumann architecture, the CPU consists of two main parts: control unit and arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and memory; the latter performs arithmetic and logical operations on data. 3. A megabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to 1,048,576 bytes. A gigabyte is a unit of information or computer storage meaning approximately 1.07 billion bytes.

9 Unit 2 Resources 1824 'The persistence of vision with regard to moving objects' - Peter Roget Phenakistoscope invented - produced an illusion of movement Kinetoscope invented by Thomas Edison- projected a 50ft length of film in approximately 13 seconds. J. Stuart Blackton made the first animated film which he called "Humorous phases of funny faces." His method was to draw comical faces on a blackboard and film them. He would stop the film, erase one face to draw another, and then film the newly drawn face. Winsor McCay produced an animation sequence using his comic strip character "Little Nemo." En Route - Emile Cohl -first paper cutout animation Max Fleischer - patented the rotoscope process - live action footage to be traced. 1915

10 Unit 3 Resources Animation and computer animation are growing fields with many career opportunities. Due to technological advances and the popularity of 3D animation, along with the numerous applications animation is used for, the field is only projected to grow larger. Just like most industries, salaries vary based on education, skill and experience. It takes more than artistic skills to be a successful animator; creativity, organization and storytelling abilities are equally as important. Take a look below at the average salaries of possible career routes you can take with an animation degree. 3d Animator 3D animators create an imaginary word that appears so real, you feel like you share the same world. Not only can 3D animations make these objects move, but they can move within an ever-changing background and they can even interact with it and other characters. 3D animators are big in both the gaming and film industries. 3D animators earn an average of $56,000 a year*. Assistant Animator Assistant Animators are the support part of a production team whose objective is to produce the best possible work within a given budget and schedule. They work alongside the animation director on a variety of tasks to help produce the final product. Depending on where you work as an assistant animator, your salary will fluctuate with the average wages in your area. Most assistant animators average around $29,000 a year**. Character Animator Character animators are responsible for bringing characters to life. Most have an understanding of various backgrounds in animation such as stop motion and claymation. Like most professions, the average salary for a character animator fluctuates depending on their degree and professional experience. Something else to keep in mind is the size and notoriety of the company you work for, because you can make anywhere from $48,000 to $150,000. Most character animators earn an average salary of $77,041*. Effects Animator An effects animator can add natural and supernatural phenomena to an animated film.

Most senior animators are paid generously, especially at large companies such as Dreamworks and Pixar, earning anywhere from $61,000 -$167,000. Most lead animators usually earn an average salary of $71,000 a year**.

11 Animation Modeler For creating character animations, you need to create complex organic models this is where animation modelers come in. Successful animation modelers are masters at the human and animal anatomy, architectural, industrial, or automotive design among other things. Character modelers are responsible for the structure and sculpting of all the cartoons and animated movies we see today. Most animation modelers earn an average salary of $95,000 a year**. Storyboard Artist Storyboard artists are mainly responsible for quick sketching and creating scenes that are later turned into a film, mastering the art of the human and animal anatomy. Storyboard artists are in charge of taking the first steps of turning a film from concept to full animation. They visualize the script and plot it out through a number of drawings. Storyboard artists can earn anywhere from$45,000, on an hourly contract, and all the way up to $90,000. Most storyboard artists earn an average of $49,000 a year**.
