Tweening
Under tween or long inbetweening (of Engl. In between [between, intervening]) is understood in the key frame animation method, in which frames between two keyframes an animation be generated to create the impression of fluid motion. The images created between the key frames are called inbetweens . The pictures are traditionally drawn by the inbetweeners , with digital animations the inbetweens can also be calculated.
history
In the early days of animation, animators drew all drawings themselves. Since a person could only create their own sequences to a very limited extent, one went over to dividing the work. One person drew the important extremes of animation. The intermediate images / frames, the inbetweens, were then created by someone else.
