·         Inbetweens – the drawings which go between the key frames

·         Rolling – using your fingers to roll between different images

·         Pencil test – photographing or scanning light drawn images to see if the animation works

·         Charting – a notation on drawn animations to tell you where the key frame is and where the in-betweens go. This also helps with timing.
