Illusion of animation
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion by displaying a series of static images in rapid succession. The images are usually drawn or created on a computer, and then played back in a sequence at a specific frame rate.
The frame rate is the number of frames that are played back per second, and is typically 24 frames per second for traditional animation, or 30 frames per second for computer animation.
The illusion of motion is created by the brain's ability to fill in the gaps between the individual frames. This is why animation looks smooth when played back at a normal speed, but can appear jumpy or jerky when played back in slow motion.
The basic principles of animation have been known since the early days of film. However, it was not until the late 1920s that animation became an established art form with the release of Walt Disney's first fully-animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Since then, animation has evolved and grown in popularity, with new technologies and techniques constantly being developed. Today, animation is used in a variety of media, from feature films and television shows to video games and commercials.
