ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Go motion

Hey kiddo, do you remember how we watch movies with moving pictures? Well, sometimes people want the creatures or animals in the movies to look like they are really moving, kind of like how you move your toys around to make them look alive. One way movie makers do this is called "go motion".

Go motion is a special way of filming where they make a creature or animal move a little bit each time a picture is taken. This makes the movements look smoother and more realistic. Think of it like playing with toys, if you move them a little bit each time you click a button, it looks like they are really moving.

This technique was used a lot in older movies before computers could create realistic animations. It's kind of like magic, right? By moving the creature a little bit at a time, it looks like it's really alive! Cool, huh?
