Description
Character animation is the process of bringing characters to life through movement and expression, making them appear as though they are thinking, feeling, and acting with purpose. It involves creating realistic or stylized motions for characters in various mediums, such as films, video games, and virtual environments. Animators use techniques like keyframing, motion capture, or rigging to control a character’s movements and gestures while focusing on timing, weight, and personality to make the animation engaging and believable. The goal is to convey emotion and storytelling through the character's actions, making them relatable and memorable to the audience.

Character animation is a specialized area of the animation process, which involves bringing animated characters to life. The role of a Character Animator
is analogous to that of a film or stage actor, and character animators are often
said to be "actors with a pencil" (or a mouse). Character animators breathe
life in their characters, creating the illusion of thought, emotion and personality. Character animation is often distinguished from creature animation, which
involves bringing photo-realistic animals and creatures to life.
