2. The basics of animation The persistence of vision – the human eye sees an object for a short time after it has disappeared. This fact is used in animation. It means that separate diagrams with slight changes in motion do not appear jerky.

3. Animation Flip books A slightly different diagram showing motion is put on each page. When the book is flipped animation appears smooth. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=FH97UerMW6I

4. Animation Stop motion A model is photographed then moved slightly and photographed again steps are repeated frames are joined with a short delay between them. http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=t0KMSfiizdY

5. Animation Flash/key frame animation Flash is a piece of software used to create interactive and animated websites. Key frames are the starting frame and the finishing frame in an animation. The software fills in the frames between the two key frames. This is called tweening. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=oUbAO83T_pY

6. Animation 3D Animation This is the most complex of all types of animation. Software is complex. Software can be expensive.
