• Animation is defined as the act of making something come
alive (realistic). • In persistence of vision, an object seen by the human eye remains chemically mapped on the eye’s retina for a brief time after viewing. • A series of images that are changed very slightly and very rapidly is seemingly blend together into a visual illusion of movement called phi. • Animation file formats must be compatible with multimedia authoring software • Sound inserted to the animation should be timed properly with the animation project. • Animation process involves keyframes, tweening, kinematics, inverse kinematics and morphing.
