• What is seen on screen during an animation or film

A key frame is...

• A frame that marks the beginning or end of an animation (position, scale, rotation, etc.)

• A computer generated code, that gives editing access to an animation

• The current position of an element in an animation

• The location of the playhead on the timeline

Tweening is...

• The time it takes for an animation to export

Hand Drawn animation is...

• A series of drawings where the character or scenery moves slightly in each drawing. Images are shown rapidly and give impression of fluid movement.

• When models are photographed one frame at a time. The model is posed, a picture is taken, then they are moved and another picture is taken. This is repeated over and over again. The images are then shown rapidly to communicate fluid movement.

• When keyframes are determined by the animator and computer software fills in the in-between frames. This can be done in 2D and 3D.

• When a 3D representation of a live performance. Sensors are placed around and on an actor during filming. Afterwards the film is input into a computer and animation is placed over it.
