A typical animation has 24 frames for every second of running time (24 fps). A bouncing ball drawn on ‘twos’ is shown on this timeline: Frame number 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Explain why the ball is drawn on ‘twos’. Suggest one reason why the animator might choose to draw the animation on ‘ones’ instead of ‘twos’. Describe the effect of drawing the ball in this animation on ‘fours’ instead of ‘twos’.
