What is Animation?
Animation is the art of making a movie using still images. The still images or inanimate objects can be drawings, photographic images, etc. which when put together in a sequence and then played at a fast speed give an illusion of movement. In a way, we are bringing to life, these inanimate objects or characters. The animator designs the entire sequence, then using the computer technologies, he stitches the digital or hand-drawn pictures, computer graphics, or photographs of static objects together and creates frames and these frames are then used to give an illusion of movement.
The movies like Tom & Jerry series, Angry Birds, Tintin, Avenger series, etc., or the games like Angry Bird, Pubg, candy crush, etc. are few examples of Graphic Animation VFX. With the technological development of Graphics Animation VFX, you are only limited by your imagination.
