Facial Animation

Facial animation is the process of creating moving, expressive faces in digital characters or films. It involves manipulating digital models to mimic human facial movements and emotions—like smiling, frowning, or blinking. This can be achieved through techniques such as keyframing (setting specific positions at certain points), motion capture (recording real actors' expressions), or procedural methods that generate movement automatically. The goal is to produce realistic, believable facial expressions that convey character personality and emotion, enhancing storytelling and audience connection in movies, video games, and virtual communication.
