Post 3-Frame rates required to create a smooth illusion of motion
A frame rate is the number of frames shown each second in either a movie, tv show and even computer games.
12fps
Animation is usually shown in 12 frames per second. This is because the animators need to adjust each character in each frame in order to make it look like their moving, and bring the animation together. They settled on 12fps as this is the smoothest frame that can be shown without the characters moving too slow or fast, while still making it move like a proper movement.
24fps
Filmmakers decided on using 24 fps because if anything lower than that were to be used the image would be moving slower and it would look more like a still image rather than a movement. (Reddit.com, 2019) But if it were to go any higher, the frame/shot will be moving too quickly for the human eye and it will not look like a film. (Quora.com, 2019) Another reason is because cinema projectors are not able to go any higher than 24fps which is why film makers can only use this. In general, this is the best frame rate to use for films and tv shows, as it results in a smoother shot, which then makes it more lifelike and enjoyable to watch for the audience.
25fps
25fps is used for tv due to the electrical systems. For example 25fps is used in the uk and 30fps is used in USA as they both have different currents. (Digitalspy.com, 2019) However, they use 25fps as it is the smoothest frame when broadcasting on TV. This is why it is higher than films, as it has to be broadcast across many different TV's especially if it is live TV, and 25 is the number that can make it be broadcast without damaging the electrical supply, or by even making the characters on TV appear to be moving too fast or slow for their frame.
The nightmare before christmas was shot in 24 fps, which meant that the animators had to create different motions for a total of 110,000 frames. (mentalfloss.com, 2018)
Coraline also used 24fps but was also the first stop motion animation to use a 3d printer to create the characters. (shotonwhat.com,2019)
