Slidimation

A type of media in which a set of spaced out images are displayed in a sequence to help visually express a story often paired with a narration or a song. Slidimation is similar to a slideshow but has a greater emphasis on smaller changes in position such as expressions and locations of a character as well as the occasional use of motion tweens to slide images across the canvas. Slidimation is often confused with animation as well as animatics, however, animation differs because it is a medium in which the illusion of movement is created by placing several frames in-between keyframes which slidimations lack, while the latter is simply one of the preliminary stages in the development of an animation. People who create slidimations, much like animators, are labeled "slidimators."
