Document Summary

What is animation: a sequence of images that create the illusion of movement when played in succession. Why use animation: easier to show somebody how something works then to try and explain it also animation, indicate movement, illustrate change over time, visualize three-dimensional objects, attracts attention. Frame rate (frames per second fps) frame rate: indicates the playback speed of the animation in frames per second. 2 types of 2-d animation: cel animation frame animation) bytes) If the animation appears too slow, we can speed up the motion by: reducing the number of frames, increasing the frame rate. 2-d animation terminology keyframe: the start and end frames tweening, the act of generating frames between the first and last key frame creating a path onion-skinning, viewing multiple frames at once. 3-dimension animation involves 3 steps: modelling, rendering, animating. Where can you get animation: or, you can create your own:
