Cel (Animation)

Short for celluloid; a piece of clear plastic containing the images that are placed over a background to be photographed in succession to form the action of a completed film. The outline of the image, whether hand-inked or Xerox, is applied to the front of the cel. The colors are painted on the back of the cel, with certain colors, notably black, sometimes painted onto the front (for glare reduction). Most cels are "still cels" with only set of peg holes.
