In simple words, animation can be defined as a procedure of creating movies, videos, computer games or films in which sculpts or drawings of animals as well as people seem to be in motion. This figment is basically created by consecutively demonstrating the images of these motionless rudiments.
In the arena of video production or films, animation refers to the technique of fabricating each frame of movie or film separately. These frames can be created by myriad methods. They can also be created with the help of a computer, using a photograph or a painted or drawn image. Once the frames are ready, the film can be observed by stringing them together. It is the “persistence of vision” that gives rise to the illusion of uninterrupted motion.
Creating such films without using computer can be very tedious as well as time consuming. The computer animation has made the production of such films simpler, cheaper and less labor-intensive. The supreme benefit of using computer is that the professionals get hold of a larger margin for any kind of errors because while using digital files they can effortlessly undo the mistakes up to some specified number of steps.
