Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 1c1
A film/movie produced by a frame by frame process where each frame is individually composed; either generated as a computer graphic, by photographing a drawn image, or repeatedly making small changes to a flexible model (such as a clay model; see claymation?), and photographing the result. When the resulting film is viewed at normal speed, there is an illusion of continuous movement. Generating such a film is very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly speeded up the process.
Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation? and stop motion), and then photographing the result. When the frames are strung together and the resulting film is viewed at a speed of 16 or more frames per second, there is an illusion of continuous movement (due to the persistence of vision). Generating such a film is very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly sped up the process.
