Traditional animation involves drawing each frame by hand and photographing them to create motion. Stop motion animation takes photos of physical objects moved slightly between shots. 3D animation creates computer-generated objects and environments. 2D animation also draws each frame but uses modern technology. Animation is used for entertainment, education, advertising and more due to its ability to engage audiences and communicate ideas through movement and storytelling.
