animation:
All animation is created by rendering a series of pictures in a sequence and displaying those pictures at a sufficient rate of speed so as to generate the phenomena called “persistence of vision”. One of a cartoon animator’s goals is to optically blend sequential images together to create the visual effect of continuous motion.

The images in a sequence are called frames. To create animation successive frames in the sequence must change. The distance in frames and the amount of change between the pictures produces the spacing and timing of the animation.
