Tweening Frames for Smoother Animations - Creating smooth moving and realistic animations requires that a large number of key frames be digitized. This is time and labour intensive. A well known animators technique called 'tweening' can be used to create frames inbetween the key frames for smoother movements with less digitizing. Points per second, Frames per second and their effect on perceived flicker are also discussed.
