Animation refers to the process of creating and combining two- or three-dimensional images in a way that generates the illusion of movement. These visuals can stand alone as fully animated works or be integrated with live-action footage.
In today’s rapidly evolving world—where advertising, media, and social platforms continuously develop—the use of animation has expanded significantly, leading to a global boom in the animation and motion graphics industry.
Animation enables the visualization of concepts that would otherwise be too costly or even impossible to create in the real world, establishing it as a highly profitable creative industry.
