Frames per second

As you know, animation consists of a consecutive series of images that play rapidly.
These images go so fast that you don't notice the gaps between them. Thus, creating
the illusion of consistent motion. The smoothness of the movement is effected by the
amount of frames that are displayed every second. This is refereed to as 'fps' (frames
per second). The greater fps an animation has, the smoother the motion. Likewise,
the lower the fps, the more jumpy the piece is. I've decided to make my piece 12.
This is because I only have a limited time to shoot my animation. Despite the loss
of quality, I think this would be better because I can get the pictures faster.
