Animation and VFX

Animation is a method in which pictures are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today, most animations are made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motiontechnique to two and three-dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets or clay figures.

Commonly the effect of the animation is achieved by a rapid succession of sequential images.
