What is an animation?

Animation is a moving action of a sequence of still pictures. Each of these still pictures depicts a part of a whole action at a time. When these pictures are run and viewed in a sequence of high speed, they produce the illusion as if they were moving in a continuous sequence. For example, producing a bouncing ball action within a 10 frame animation : the ball first starts from the left upper corner, then drops to the middle and bounces to the right upper corner at the end. The 10 still pictures will be drawn as follows. When these are run and viewed at high speed, e.g. one tenth of a second per frame, you will see the ball bouncing as intended. For those elements which are intended to be still in the animation, just draw them in the same position throughout the 10 animation frames, e.g. like the goal in the bouncing animation. They will appear still when the animation is run. The quality of an animation can be improved by increasing the running speed or by increasing the quantity of the still pictures used. 

Remember that drawings need to be flipped on the disc so as to reverse back the flip caused by the reflector drum.
