   Animation
   A medium that creates the illusion of movement through the projection of a series of still images or ‘frames`. The term is also used to refer to the techniques used in the production of an animated film - in 3D animation, primarily those controlling the motion of the objects and cameras within a scene. These include keyframe animation, in which the artist sets the positions of objects manually at certain key points in the action, and the computer calculates their intervening positions through a process of interpolation or ‘inbetweening`, and procedural animation, in which the motion is controlled automatically via a series of mathematical formulae.
