Inbetweening: A Basic Explanation

     Animation has various techniques and things to discuss. For this post, I will give a simple explanation on inbetweening. With this technique, one takes their key frames, which are the main frames of the action, and add more frames in between. The more frames added, the better the animation. However, this is not always true as it all depends on the motion, its complexity, and the number of frames it needs. For instance, someone about to break down and on the verge of tears would require more frames to animate than a simple handshake between two parties. Below is a video demonstrating the use of inbetweens.
