Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions to create an illusion of movement. The effect is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in several ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although there are other methods.
From Latin animātiō, "the act of bringing to life"; from animō ("to animate" or "give life to") + -ātiō ("the act of").
Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
A 5,000 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides. This has been claimed to be an example of early animation. However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word.
Plot
It was during a very frustrating first three years of higher studies that brought the idea of Animation to life. We were in a campus surrounded by forests and in a way trapped inside a very small physical and mental space. During the second half of the forth year at the campus we discovered the Erindale Park in Mississauga; we always walked through the campus pathway leading to the forest and onto a secluded part of the park. The place represented a moment of happiness. The lushness of the green and the warmth of the air really brightened our minds but returning to reality always took a toll. This swing between struggle and joy is what Animation is about, the dance of happiness and the withering of sadness to the point where they both blend and become the same and then part ways.

Plot
A sweating man breathes rapidly from exertion as he open a packet and pulls out a DVD with the words "Salvation comes from within" on it. Impatiently he plays the film, which appears to be a Max Fleischer cartoon of the three blind mice singing. Soon, the mice deliver a message, telling the man to go to a specific street corner. Off he runs, through modern Los Angeles crowds. At the designated corner, a street person talks to him about shoes, then a cell phone rings, which he finds and answers. A voice sends him running - to avert a tragedy, to find salvation, or because he's trapped in earthly pursuits? Is this cosmic cat and mouse? Will he stop to smell the roses?

When I was young I had thoughts of a kind that still linger
entwined with realities reasoning
I'd sit on the hill side and look out far yonder, imagine I'd easily
fly away, to where? I don't know,
But the imagery caught by my quick imagination would lift me
my spirit to conquer a fall
Well now let me tell you the simplest of stories
We've all been through this moment
And really we've all been
Through this birth
All praise this glorous chance of life
All praise this wonderous feeling too
All praise this time we all go through
This pain This light, we bare so fast
Rebirth at last
And I wanted to be by my wife
As she'd laboured and given
The child a life, she the purest soul
So I wanted to be by her side
For the very first time I said
For the full and simple reason
Well I wanted it, well yes I did
As a Mother and Father of innocence
Gladly helping a child to this world
There was more than relief on our minds
It was like touching moments in History
Not just for a memory
With the help of those dear people
Who could have thought for a better
Reason of just wanting to be there
Who could have thought for a better
Reason of just wanting to be there
Who could have thought for a better
Reason of just wanting to be there
For the full and simple reason
Well I wanted it
wanted it
wanted to be there
Out in a whispering of time
Can a Mother and Child love right away
Mother and Father as their right accept a reason
As the child's eyes that dream on and dream a life away
So the moment I thought about release of life that comes on
And how hopefully wise we become with each passing day
Animation caused the game to close
How we hurried to survive
Animation caused the hanging fire
How we hurried to retire
Disengage time and the body`s on its own
Feel the stagnation and this is where we are thrown
Labour saving days are the ones that can`t recline
Labour saving days are the ones that always shine
Animation was a hidden source
Always seeking a new mind
Animation was a purifier
Always starching a new find
Rejuvenate time and the bodies join the throng
Contact stains but the time it feels so long
Leisure loving days are the ones that can`t decide
Leisure loving days are the ones that can`t provide
Animation was a lying cloud
Pretending to survive
Animation was a solemn heir
Withdrawn from the play
Animate time and the game is on its own
Play at sustaining and this is where we are thrown
Animating days are the ones that can`t recline
Make believe days are the ones that always shine
Leisure loving days are the ones that can`t decide
Leisure loving days are the ones that can`t provide
Labour saving days are the ones that can`t recline

Would you like to see me do my best impression?
of animated dreams and understated self-expression?
Isn't it just enough to know that he was there?
Since when did sincerity get you anywhere?
Would you like to hear another explanation
of elevated love and phantom degradation
A man like me, never likes to plead
Tell me anything, everything you need
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You can see the way
you always looked to me
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You'll only see
what I want to let you see
Pull down the sheet
that keeps you on your side
I'll paint your face
if you really want to hide
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You can see the way
you always looked to me
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You'll only see
You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am a possession unopened at your feet.
There's no balance
No equality
Be still
I will not accept defeat.
I will have you
I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you.
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
I feed you and drink you by day and by night.
I need you
I need you by sun and candle light.
You protest
You want to leave.
Stay
There's no alternative.
You see some beauty here
I see some beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware.
A circumstance
When you make your dreams
Your affection is not what it seems.
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
. . .
My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness has turned to badness.
My need to possess you has consumed my soul.
My life is trembling
I have no control!
I will have you
I will have you
. . .
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
. . .
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
. . .
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
You're holding him so tight that he can't move
If you never give him room
You're gonna lose.
He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot
Ev'ry time he comes home late he's on the spot.
Trust him to be the kind of man he wants to be
You aren't gonna keep him long if you give him
The third degree.
Let him go
Let him go
Do the things he's got to do
Give him the freedom that he needs even though it worries you.
Let him go
Let him go
Have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.
You want your life with him to work so well
You forget the love you need to give yourself.
I understand your desire to keep him near
But you poison love when you mix it up with fear.
Trust yourself to be the woman that you want to be
If you both have room to grow
Then you'll live in harmony.
Let him go
Let him go
Do the things he's got to do
. . .
Let him go
Let him go.
Let him go
Let him go
Have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.
Let him go
Let him go
You're running in the night hiding from the light of day
You say you're fine but I know better
'Cause you would never act that way.
If something wasn't wrong
If something wasn't out of control
And though you don't seem all
That different than everybody else I know
Coming from you
That's nothing but strange behavior
What you're going through
Causing that strange behavior - so strange !
Something isn't right
Something's got you under it's spell
And I would not be so suspicious if I didn't laiow you so well.
You might as well confess
You know that I'm gonna find out
So just don't keep on acting
Like you don't know what I'm talking about.
Coming from you
That's nothing but strange behavior
. . .
It's so strange - you don't even talk to me
Now you've changed - you're nothing like you used to be.
Talk to me - talk to me !
Coming from you
That's nothing but strange behavior
. . .
Coming from you
That's nothing but strange behavior
. . .
Don't count on me -
I engineer on ev'ry move we make from here.
I'll take the lead
You take the pain
You see
I engineer this gain!
Who do you think you fool when you talk about us?
Why do you walk on glass when you know it cuts?
There must be a reason why you put my life in ovexdrive.
I'm up to here with push and shove
From here on in - I've had enough -
Don't count on me -
I'll leave it all behind in a cloud of dust
There's an even chance I'll shine or bust.
On my own I've got the time
There's a light ahead at the end of the line.
Seein' you leaves me no doubt
I'll take the wheel - from here all out -
Don't count on me - . . .
On my own I've got the time
There's a light ahead at the end of the line.
Seein' you leaves me no doubt
I'll take the wheel - from here all out -
Time and time again I keep trying to put you out of my mind
I can't concentrate
You're the only feeling I can find.
And it's taking over
Rolling me over
Seems like it won't stop
And I've lost control of my heart and soul.
'Cause when I see your eyes
Then I know I want you
When I hear your voice
That's when I know I want you.
Losing all my defenses you're slipping back inside of my head
It's getting so I can't exist
Without the thought of us together again.
And it's taking over
Rolling me over
Seems like it won't stop
. . .
When I feel your touch
Then I know I want you
Then I know I want you
I want you!
In my life it's been so uncertain
Ties were broken and it left me hurting
Maybe now I can trust again with you.
And it's taking over
Rolling me over
Seems like it won't stop
. . .
When I feel your touch
Then I know I want you
Then I know I want you
I want you !
'Cause when I see your eyes
Then I know I want you
When I hear your voice
That's when I know I want you.
When I feel your touch
Then I know I want you
Then I know I want you
