Animation is a technique used to create the illusion of motion and change by displaying a series of individual images or frames in rapid succession. This can be achieved using various methods, including traditional hand-drawn techniques, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and stop-motion animation. The key principle behind animation is the phenomenon of persistence of vision, which causes the human eye to perceive a sequence of still images as a continuous movement. Animation is widely used in film, television, video games, and online content to tell stories, create characters, and convey emotions in a dynamic and engaging format. It encompasses various styles and genres, from cartoonish and stylized to hyper-realistic, and can appeal to audiences of all ages.
