The frequency (rate) at which consecutive images called frames appear on a display. Measured in FPS (frames per second).

The process of creating the bone structure of a 3D model to manipulate the model's shape during animation.

A process where intermediate frames are created between two keyframes to produce the illusion of movement.

A drawing or shot that defines the starting and ending points of any smooth transition in animation.

A traditional animation technique where each frame is hand-drawn on a transparent sheet called a cel and photographed over a background image.

A fundamental principle of animation that gives the illusion of weight and volume to a character as it moves.

Computer-Generated Imagery, the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, and simulations.

An animation technique where each frame is drawn sequentially from the first to the last frame.

An animation technique in which one image is gradually turned into another.

An animation technique used in creating animated cartoons and editing movies to see multiple frames at once; this way, the animator or editor can make decisions on how to create or change an image based on the previous image in the sequence.

Animation principles that deal with the number of frames between each action and the movement's dynamics.

A mathematical process used in 3D animation to automate the animation of characters so that their extremities can move to a position by manipulating the joints.

Animation technique used to prepare the audience for an action, and to make the action appear more realistic.

An action that directly results from another action to add more dimension to character animation.

An animation technique to manipulate physical objects to appear to move on their own and is photographed frame by frame.

An effect especially useful in animation as it gives a more dynamic and appealing look to the animation.

A rendering technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light as pixels in an image plane.

A chart that animators use to organize and synchronize motion, dialog, and sound at the correct timing.

Another classic animation principle that refers to the natural movement path of objects or characters in animation.

A visual effect that mimics the blurring of moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation.

A looped series of frames showing the sequence of motions of a character taking steps.

An animation technique that involves creating a few key frames, and then filling in the intervals later.

A group of networked computers that work together to render digital animation or images in order to complete render tasks more efficiently.

A sequence of drawings representing the shots planned for a film or animation.
