Animated STAR TREK - Writing for Limited Animation

Animated STAR TREK - Writing for Limited Animation: "It is a cardinal rule to ensure that the viewer is not given a chance to dwell on the fact that very little is moving. One way to do this is to limit the length of any scene to a maximum of about six seconds. Scenes in animation are different from scenes in a live action film script. In animation, a scene is any change in camera angle, while in live action a scene is any change in location or setting. Animated series scenes range from about one second to six seconds, with the average scene being around four and a half seconds long. In a typical 22-minute animated show, there will be around 300 scenes.
