Animation

Animation is the process of creating motion and shape change^{[Note 1]} illusion 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 phi phenomenon.

 Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.

Animations 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, orprojector 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. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, 

usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second.
