anæningarferli
Anæningarferli refers to the process of animation in Icelandic. It encompasses the creation of moving images, typically by sequencing still images or frames to create the illusion of motion. This can be achieved through various techniques, including traditional hand-drawn animation, stop-motion animation where physical objects are manipulated between frames, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) which utilizes digital tools and software. The fundamental principle behind anæningarferli, regardless of the method, is the rapid display of a series of images to trick the viewer's eye into perceiving continuous movement. This illusion relies on the concept of persistence of vision, where the human eye retains an image for a fraction of a second after it disappears. The speed at which these frames are displayed, often measured in frames per second (fps), directly influences the fluidity and realism of the animation. Anæningarferli is a core component of filmmaking, television production, video games, and other visual media, allowing for storytelling and visual expression that would be impossible with static images alone.
