computerized versions of traditional animation techniques such as of tweening
, morphing
, onion skinning
and interpolated
rotoscoping. 3D animation is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. In order to manipulate a mesh, it is
given a digital skeletal structure that can be used to control the mesh. This process is called rigging. Various other techniques can be applied, such as mathematical
functions ex. gravity, particle simulations, simulated fur or hair, effects such as fire and water and the use of
motion capture to name but a few, these techniques
fall under the category of 3D dynamics.www.wikipedia.com Based on the explanation above, the writer concludes that animation

2.3.4 Shrek Forever After
Shrek Forever After is a comedy movie which is produced by Dream Works Animation and Directed by Mike Mitchell. It is the third sequel of the Shrek
journeys. The synopsis of the story taken from
www.imdb.com :
The story begins just before Shrek Mike Myers rescues Princess Fiona Cameron Diaz in the first film. Desperate to lift their daughters curse, King
Harold John Cleese and Queen Lillian Julie Andrews meet with con artist Rumpelstiltskin Walt Dohrn, who requests becoming king of Far Far Away in
exchange. Just before the deal is contracted, the king and queen learn that Fiona has already been rescued. In the present, a disgruntled Rumpelstiltskin wishes
Shrek was never born and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, Shrek has grown tired of being a domesticated family man and
celebrity among the local villagers, leading him to yearn for the days when he felt like a real ogre. It is his childrens birthday party where lots of fictional
characters appear. Shrek gets easily annoyed here as the 3 little pigs all voiced by Cody Cameron eat the childrens cake up and a little kid called Butterpants Mike
Mitchell keeps wanting him to do his infamous roar. After letting out a roar of frustration, the entire crowd cheers. He then smashes a replacement cake and
storms off. He meets with Rumpelstiltskin, who offers to give Shrek a day to live like a real ogre again in exchange for a day from his childhood he wouldnt
remember being erased. Shrek agrees and signs the contract, and abruptly lands in a world where he is still feared by villagers. He enjoys causing mischief until he
finds wanted posters for the ogress Fiona and his home deserted. He is suddenly captured by witches and taken to Rumpelstiltskin, who is now the king of Far Far
Away, which has become derelict and rotting, and uses ogres and even some of Shreks friends for slave labor.
As the sun begins to rise, Shrek begins to fade from existence, and had the chance to fall in love with her all over again, but Fiona, having fallen in love with
him all over again, kisses him just before he disappears completely, which nullifies the contract and restores Shrek to his world just before he originally
lashed out at everyone. Shrek embraces his friends and family with newfound appreciation for everything he has, truly living happily forever after.
