` Every second of finished film consists of 24 frames, requiring 12 to 24 drawings, dependingupon the speed of movement

` Faster movements need more drawings per second

` S lower moves can be animated with less drawings` 14 frames per second (fps) already gives the

Persistence of Vision effect` T he more frames in the animation, the smoother

the output
