FAQ About The Evolution of Animation Techniques in Film and TV
How did traditional hand-drawn animation work?
Traditional hand-drawn animation involves creating a sequence of images that slightly differ from one another, giving the illusion of movement when played in rapid succession. Artists draw each frame by hand, often on paper, which is then photographed onto a film strip. Each second of animated film typically requires 24 individual frames. This labor-intensive method was used in classic films like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937).
