Animation, Motion Capture, Keyframing

This document discusses different animation techniques, including keyframing. It describes keyframing as a technique where animators set fixed poses at specific frames, known as keyframes, and the software interpolates between the poses to create movement. The document provides overviews of other animation methods such as cell animation, data-driven animation using motion capture, and physics-based animation simulations.
