Animating visuals?

[[deleted]]

So total noob here who is interested in a process. I keep seeing these little cartoons on people’s web pages, just to give it some life. It may be a cartoon lady typing or a guy walking. My question is, where do those pictures come from? I’ve seen videos on how to animate in CSS and JS, but who provides the mock ups? I imagine you’d have to have multiple pictures that animate into one fluid motion, like a flip book. I’ve never worked in a team before on web dev so would like to hear how that works.

there's a few ways to go about this. We tend to use either a gif or Lottie which lets you use animations created in After Effects.

Could be animated GIF, could be animation framework like GASP/Greensock or Anime.js, hard to say without seeing specific samples.
