Video animation is the process of creating the illusion of movement through a sequence of images or frames displayed rapidly in succession.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the key concepts:

How it works

The human eye perceives a sequence of still images as fluid motion when shown at roughly 24 frames per second (fps) or more a phenomenon called persistence of vision.

Main types

Traditional (cel) animation hand-drawn frames, like classic Disney films

2D digital animation drawn digitally using software like Adobe Animate

3D computer animation 3D models rendered frame by frame (Pixar, game cinematics)

Motion graphics animated text, shapes, and UI elements (used in ads, explainers)

Stop motion physical objects photographed one frame at a time

Core techniques

Keyframing defining the start and end positions of a movement, letting software interpolate the in-between frames

Rigging building a skeleton for a character so it can be posed and moved

Rendering the process of generating the final image from a 3D scene

Common uses

Films, TV, video games, advertising, social media content, educational videos, and UI/UX design.

At its core, animation is storytelling through controlled movement whether it’s a bouncing ball or a full feature film.
