It’s often very time consuming and things like green-screen have helped speed up this process. It’s used extensively in the visual effects industry so that the figure can be composited over another background. A technique used by animators to trace over live-action film footage, frame by frame. Rotoscoping is often used in 2D animation as a way to create incredibly realistic lifelike action. To get an even smoother quality of animation, some films run at 60 frames per second (60fps) and some games are even higher at (120fps+) although it’s much harder to see a noticeable difference with the naked eye at these speeds. One second it comprises 24 individual frames (24 frames per second). Think of it like a flipbook, with each page representing a frame of illustration. ‍2D animation is created using a sequence of frames, each one slightly different from each other, which when put together in a fast succession form a fluid animation.

Something that does this really well were the early Disney films.

With 2D animation services, anything is possible - you can bring to life all sorts of objects and imagery. Animation gives you the freedom to explore every aspect of your film while keeping the ‘look and style’ very flexible.
