Animation is created by displaying a series of images or frames in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement. Animators use individual images called frames to show movement, presenting them in a sequence at a rate of frames per second. There are different types of animation including traditional 2D animation, 3D animation using CGI, and stop motion animation using real objects. Popular software tools for creating animation include Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3D Max, and Adobe After Effects. Famous animators include Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki, and John Lasseter.
