What does "on twos" and "on ones" mean in animation?
What does "on twos" and "on ones" mean in animation?
I've heard of this quite a few times but never really understood what it meant. Can someone please explain?
Thanks!
Thanks!
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

On twos: 12 frames (or drawings, etc) per second.
On ones: 24 frames (or drawings, etc) per second.
To provide a specific example, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was animated in "twos," while Coraline was animated in "ones."

Most animation in anime is done on ones, twos, or threes - anything slower will look decidedly jerky

Actually, most manga is done minimum on twos (Ghibli) and the lower budget stuff is usually done on threes or even fives or sixes.

And stuff like Blood+ (really the only Anime I ever became addicted to) will animate the fight scenes in ones or twos, and then use less for the other parts.
I'm also pretty sure Ghibli uses ones for certain sequences. Princess Mononoke's attack looks very smooth, to provide just one example.
