Animation

Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion by displaying a series of individual images, or frames, in quick succession. These images, which can be illustrations, photographs, or computer-generated graphics, are typically shown at a rate of 24 to 60 frames per second, creating the appearance of fluid movement. Animation can be used in various media, including film, television, video games, and online content. There are several techniques used in animation, including traditional hand-drawn animation, stop-motion animation, and computer-generated imagery (CGI). Animation is not only a form of entertainment but also serves educational, artistic, and commercial purposes. The term encompasses a wide range of styles and genres, from cartoons to realistic 3D renderings, and can evoke emotions, tell stories, or convey complex ideas through visual means.
