Animation Hand Tools, and Equipment

Creating Animation is like in the movies and television series involves comprehensive collabora-
tions requiring a long process and a lot of effort. Animators may use a set of equipment to help
process and create the graphics and content in the creation of animation. But first, we need to
define some technical terms like Hand tools it is a small tool (such as a Pencil) that usually does
not use electricity. Equipment is a set of articles (machinery, electronic devices, mechatronic
devices) used or needed for a specific purpose or activity.

Below are the pictures of the Tools and Equipment used in Animation.

Animation Light Box

Some of the equipment used in Animation is very costly but as a student, we can cre-

ate our Do it Your Self (DIY) LightBox using simple steps.

What you're trying to create: Instructions:

1. Glue, staple, or nail the triangu-
lar pieces to the base piece of ply-
wood.

Things we need:
 2 hinges
 Plywood, cut to shapes below 2. Drill a hole into the back
 Plexiglass (preferable opaque or semi-opaque) piece, and attach it to the sides
 Florescent or Halogen bulb w/ switch (can be
and base. The hole is for the
bought as one unit)
bulb unit's cord.

3. The plexiglass will be at-

tached with the hinges, either
on the outside or the inside (but
inside is generally better).
Since drilling could break it, I re
commend that you glue the hin
Florescent or halogen
ge onto the plexiglass.

4. Place the light unit inside, and
you're done! ( Note: If you need help in
connecting electrical wires consult an
expert to anyone that knows basic
electricity).
