Animation is the process of creating the illusion of movement by displaying a series of individual images or frames in sequence. Each frame typically varies slightly from the one before it, leading to a smooth transition that gives the appearance of motion when viewed at a rapid speed. This technique can be applied in various forms, including traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion animation, and more. Animation is widely used in film, television, video games, and online content, allowing storytellers to express ideas, entertain audiences, and convey complex narratives in visually engaging ways. It combines artistry, technology, and storytelling to create dynamic visuals that can range from simple animations to intricate and detailed works of art.
