the process of creating motion by setting pivotal frames that define the start and end points of movement, forming the foundation for lifelike animation in VFX and digital media.
Key frame animation is a foundational technique in animation and VFX that involves defining critical frames, or “keyframes,” to create fluid motion and dynamic transitions for characters, objects, and environments. By setting pivotal poses or positions, animators establish the start and end points of movements, with software like Maya, Blender, and Adobe Animate filling in the in-between frames through interpolation. This skill is essential for creating lifelike movements, expressive character performances, and smooth transitions in films, games, and digital media. Mastering key frame animation provides animators with precise control over timing, spacing, and motion dynamics, ensuring professional-grade results in any production pipeline.
