First animation lesson and we got to grips with some of the fundamental questions around what we doing in his course. What do we expect? Why did we choose it? What is frame rate and the persistence of vision  and what is there relevance to animation?  Is animation just making things look like they are moving?  We’ve then go on to make our zoetropes and our first very simple animations. The point of this is to try to understand some of the complexities and limitations of frame by frame animation as well as the workload implications of our story decisions.
