BEAT BOXING

Beatboxing (also beatbox, beat box or b-box) is a form of vocal percussions primarily involving the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, and voice.It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, and the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instrumentals. Beatboxing today is connected with hip-hop culture being one of "the elements", although it is not limited to Hip Hop music.The term "beatboxing" is sometimes used to refer to vocal percussion in general

The term "beatboxing" is derived from the mimicry of the first generation of drum machines, then known as beatboxes. "Human beatboxing" in hip-hop originated in 1980s. Its early pioneers include Doug E Fresh the self-proclaimed first "human beatbox".Swifty, the first to implement the inhale sound technique,Buffy, who helped perfect many beatboxing techniques and Wise who contributed significantly to beat boxing' proliferation.

Wise inspired an entire new fan base of human beatboxers with his human turntable technique.

MODERN BEATBOXING 

Beatboxing's current popularity is due in part to artists such as Rahzel of THE ROOTS and Kenny Muhammad who have promoted the art form across the globe.
Sometimes, artists will use their hand or another part of their body to extend the spectrum of sound effects and rhythm. Some have developed a technique that involves using their hands to produce very realistic scratching effects, which they use in beatboxing. Another artist from Belgium cupped his hands to make bird and ocean sound effects in his beatboxing, and so forth.

World records

According to the Guiness World Record, the current record for the largest human beatbox ensemble was set by Booking.com employees. It involved 4,659 participants and was achieved by Booking.com employees together with beatboxers at the RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands on 10 December 2013 during their annual company meeting.
The previous largest human beatbox ensemble involved 2,081 participants and was achieved by Google (Ireland), Shlomo (UK) and Testament (UK) at The Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland on 14 November 2011

TOM THUM(BRILLIANT BEATBOXER)

"I am still trying to figure out how he got those sounds out of his mouth" The Daily Telegraph (UK)

Beatbox addict Tom Thum makes musical magic using only his mouth and a microphone. Packing an entire sound system into his throat, this prolific multi-vocalist creates mind-blowing soundscapes of impossible beats, phenomenal notes and a whole big band's worth of instruments.
The star of Tom Tom Crew, Thum has performed at festivals across the globe and been dubbed a beatboxing virtuoso.

2D ANIMATION

2D computer graphics is the computer based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D Geometrical models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them.
2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional  printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography,technical drawing, advertising etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value

2D ANIMATION SOFTWARES USED

1.Anime Studio

Anime Studio is the winner when it comes to 2D animation software. Pretty much all the features are just spot on for creating 2D animations. What sets it apart from other software is its ability to produce quality animations, its amazing speed and it comes with a number of free plug-ins. Adding shadows and shading to characters is as easy as a couple of mouse clicks. The Pro version of Anime Studio is even more scintillating and comes with a host of features for the professional animator. 

2. Flash

When it comes to usage, Toon Boom is the most widely used 2D animation software in the professional industry. If you are looking for a software to help you make professional animations, then Toon Boom is probably the best. It comes with a lot of features and produces amazing graphics. The drawing tools are also spectacular. The finished product is also amazing. However, it takes quite some time to get used to the fluid interface. It is also quite expensive but if you don’t mind the price, it is a great tool for creating 2D animations.

3.CreaToon 

 If you are looking for free 2D animation software, then CreaToon is one of the best you will lay your hands on. It’s a good program especially for training purposes and learning translation tools and key framing. However, the final animation does not come with sound so you have to import sound form somewhere else. It can also vector art but poorly and has a limited number of export formats available. You can’t also sync the voices and lips and it also has a slow render time. Lastly, it is only compatible with Windows. However, since it’s a freeware, you can’t have many complaints about it and even with its flaws, it’s still one of the best free 2D animation software out there

3. Toon Boom

When it comes to usage, Toon Boom is the most widely used 2D animation software in the professional industry. If you are looking for a software to help you make professional animations, then Toon Boom is probably the best. It comes with a lot of features and produces amazing graphics.

3D ANIMATION

Computer 3D animation or CGI animation is the process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics. The more general term computer generated encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images made using 3d softwares.

10 Types of 3D Animation Software Worth Knowing

Bryce (DAZ 3D)

It now includes animation features as well, while still having a beginner friendly interface and render setup. It doesn’t get much easier than Bryce for beginners, but it offers very little to advanced animators. 

 

 Blender (The Blender Foundation)

Blender is the perfect introduction to all that 3D software has to offer animators. Not only is it capable of most of the features the top of the line products boast on their bullet point lists, but it’s 100% free.

 

Poser (Smith Micro Software)

If you just want a program that will help you easily animate 3D characters, then Poser and its free library of base human and animal meshes is still something worth having in your back pocket at all times, even if you eventually move on to more complex 3D software in the future.

 Maya (Autodesk)

 Many prefer its interface, and it has a cloth and particle physics engine for all your simulation needs. However, the icing on the cake is Maya Live’s motion tracking tools.

 

3ds Max (Autodesk)

If you want a program solely for animation it may not be the best choice, but for an all encompassing 3D software package it’s still arguably the best complete kit on the market. In recent years it’s also seen huge strides in compositing software that can come bundled with it. 

 

Cinema 4D (Maxon)  

 While some of the 3D industry is moving in specialized smaller directions, Maxon’s directly taking on 3ds Max by offering a complete 3D art package that can do just about anything.

 

 RealFlow (Next Limit Technologies)

So you don’t want to animate a character or an animal, but instead have to deal with incredibly complex environmental or physics animations. RealFlow is the answer.
