Animation is film-making in reverse.
If a movie is action captured at 24 frames a second, then animation is 24 still frames made up to produce a second of action. Animation allows film-makers to tell fantastical stories. If you have big ideas and a small budget animation is an excellent method of telling your stories. Peter Jackson , director of the multi-million dollar Lord of the Rings trilogy, started out producing stop motion animation in his bedroom. Creating animation doesn't require a crew of thousands armed with walkie-talkies or a convoy of teamsters to move your production.
