Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other.

Description

The illusion -- as in motion pictures in general -- is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon.

Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.

Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, such as a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, or on digital media, including formats such as animated GIF, Flash animation or digital video.

To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.

Animation creation methods

Animation creation methods include:

• The traditional animation creation method
• Methods involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, such as paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures

Frame rates

Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second.
