Animation simulates motion through filming, in quick succession, two-dimensional incremental images or models. Some common forms of animation include cel or traditional animation, claymation, cutout animation, stop-motion animation, limited animation, rotoscoping, and puppet animation. The initial use of hand-drawn artwork has since been enhanced by the use of computers as both production and artistic tools. Computer graphics and editing tools have also expanded upon the range of visual design possibilities within animated works.
