Animation

Animation is a technique used to create the illusion of motion and change by rapidly displaying a sequence of individual images or frames. These images can be hand-drawn, painted, or created using computer-generated imagery (CGI). The effect of animation is achieved when these still images are played in quick succession, harnessing the principle of persistence of vision, which causes the human eye to perceive a series of images as fluid movement.

Animation encompasses various styles and formats, including traditional 2D animation, 3D animation, stop-motion animation, and more. It is utilized across numerous media, including films, television shows, video games, and online content. The process of animation involves several stages, from concept and storyboarding to character design, voice acting, and post-production.

It often combines visual artistry with storytelling, sound, and music, making it a powerful medium for both entertainment and communication. Animation can convey complex emotions and narratives, catering to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
