Timing

Timing in animation is mainly made up of 24 or 25 frames per second. Timing assimulated how quickly or slowly movement take place.

 Timing can determine the mood and realism of the film.  If done correctly in can impose weight and power to an object. Without good timing an animation can fall apart, having a very fast walk can appear as a run or no movement at all.

Eadweard Muybridges photographs enable us to break down elements of movement however putting these images together without timing can loose the action visiablity.
