What is Animation?
Animate: to bring to life.
Animation: bringing sequential images to life.
Animation is a technique used to fool the eye into thinking that motion is occurring. It uses a series of still pictures flashed in sequence very quickly. If the pictures are properly designed to flow from one to the next, the eye sees the series as one continuous, smooth motion: movement.
Since the advent of film 100 years ago, animators have concocted a variety of methods to create animation. These include: paper cut-outs, clay models, puppets, computer-generated 3-D art and traditional cel-animation.

All animation is enabled by persistence of vision.

• When sequential still images are viewed in rapid succession, they are perceived as a continuous stream.
  
• For images that are designed with patterns or character poses that progress logically in sequence, our minds "fill in the blanks" and logical motion or action is perceived.
  
• The animator's job is to design sequential images that create motion illusions that express desired cinematic, emotional or pedagogical effects.
  
• All animation is a "trick", enabled by technology and perception.

Frames per second: the rate at which sequential frames are displayed under a given display system

• Feature films are projected at 24 fps.
  
• NTSC video is displayed at 30 fps (actually 60 intelaced fields per second).
  
• PAL video is displayed at 25 fps (actually 50 interlaced fields per second).
