Impact Frames (Animation)

An impact frame in animation refers to a specific frame within a sequence that emphasizes the moment of impact or a significant action. It is strategically drawn or designed to convey the intensity, force, or emotion of a particular event in the animation. This frame often features exaggerated poses, strong lines, and heightened contrast to create a dynamic and visually impactful representation of the action taking place. By freezing the moment of impact, animators can enhance the viewer's perception of the sequence, making it more memorable and engaging. Impact frames play a crucial role in conveying the weight and importance of key moments in animation, contributing to the overall storytelling and visual appeal of the animated sequence.
