Learning Objective
I can explain how varying frame rates in animation can create different effects.
- 1
Animation does not always use a consistent frame rate; it often varies between 24, 12, 8, or even 6 frames per second to create different effects.
- 2
Holding drawings for a frame longer, such as on 'threes,' can make them more impactful and readable, allowing the audience to feel the weight of the action.
- 3
The recent trend in animation mixes full digital animation with limited animation on 'twos' and 'threes' to emphasize the artist's decisions and give the animation a soul, moving away from fully interpolated animation.
