ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Still motion

Okay kiddo, let me explain what still motion is in a way that's easy for you to understand. You know how when you watch a movie or a cartoon, the characters move around a lot and things happen quickly? Well, still motion is the opposite of that.

Still motion is a type of video or animation where things don't move around a lot. Instead, everything is still and the camera zooms in or out on different parts of the picture. It's sort of like a slideshow of pictures, but with a bit more movement.

Think of it like looking at a really cool picture book. Each page is a different picture, but instead of turning the page, the camera zooms in and out on the same picture to show you different details.

People use still motion for different things, like to show off a product or to tell a story in a unique way. It can be fun to watch because it's different than what you're used to seeing in a movie or cartoon.

So there you have it, still motion is when things don't move around a lot, but the camera still shows you different parts of the picture. Pretty cool, huh?
