It is the art of making images move using a computer program. The animation can be done in two ways. One is by making cartoon frames in series and then combining it to create a film. Another way of producing animated characters is by making a model and then placing it in the monitor. The position will be recorded and then moved again. The process of placing and recording will be done continuously until the scene is done. A rendering machine is used to produce computer animation wherein images in the frames can be varied. This is done to take some actions of the models involved in the scene. Using of physical models and simply moving the camera is already considered animation. Nowadays, more complicated computer animation is done in many ways, such as the inclusion of a curved trail and applying the law of physics to determine the performance of the models. Visualization also uses animation for sophisticated and time-dependent systems. This is done to determine the current condition of the object.

Motion control is considered a major task in animating objects. Interactive organization and animation sample are now allowed using worked out power which the past systems dont have. Animators before are not even artists but more of an expert when it comes to computers. Some systems used for scripting are created to be used as high level language of computers. In scripting systems, programs are written by the animator to manipulate the cartoon. By programming complex language, some high level data are determined like defining the unique rules for the animation of the model objects.

In todays systems, many different kinds of motion manipulation are now being permitted. A good way to determine the animation method used is by concept level in every manipulating motion done in the technique. A system is classified as low-level when the artist is obliged to accurately determine every movement detail, while a system is considered to be high-level when the animator is allowed to utilize ways that do not have any pictorial representations. One example is when moving a simple object like a cylinder; it has to have eight numbers for every frame. Having a more composite object will require having more numbers for every frame like a fish. An object like a fish would have more than twenty numbers per frame. So what more if you are going to animate a group of fish. In computer animation, Hierarchy Organization is needed to define high level manipulation structure and then made to be more exact manipulation structure. Just like in high level computer language, that has more complicated structure manipulation that are required to be made into low level structures.
