There is no exact term in Filipino for the word animation. But whenever we do not find an exact word to use for a foreign term (like for the word animation in English), the same term will be used only changing the spelling in the Filipino form, thus animation becomes “animasyon”.
GUHIT GALAW is the term I choose for the word animation in Filipino. In the literal meaning of these two words, GUHIT-GALAW represent a given concept in animation-“guhit na gumagalaw” or drawing that moves.
Let us discuss one by one every principles and tips in animation through the efforts of different people who have learned the art of making animations. And through these tons of knowledge, let us open the road to the creative world of GUHIT GALAW!
