Animation is cool
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape change[Note 1] by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion, as in motion pictures in general, is thought to rely on the phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
Animation can be recorded on 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 include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, such as paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures.
