Multimedia in Action

James E. Shuman, Wadsworth Publishing

Here's a short 3-D animation we created for our illustration of MPEG compression. The art manuscript called for several frames from an animated sequence wherein the background stays the same while something -- in this case, a space ship -- moves across it. The idea is that MPEG compression reduces file size by storing the unchanging background only once every 15 frames.

If you don't see anything happening here, it means your Web browser does not support animated GIF files. Sorry! You really should be using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer...
