What is frame-by-frame animation?

Frame-by-frame animation, also known as traditional or cel animation, is a classic technique used in animation to create movement by displaying a series of individual frames. Each frame is hand-drawn or created digitally, with slight variations from one frame to another, which when played together at a high speed, give the illusion of smooth motion. This painstaking process requires careful attention to detail and can be time-consuming, but it offers a high level of control and has been widely used in films, cartoons, and advertising. Frame-by-frame animation allows animators to create intricate and fluid movements, resulting in visually captivating and realistic animations.
