Smear Frame

Smear frames, in animation, are a visual animation style that is used to create motion blur. These smears are used in between frames to show fast movement of a character or an object in a path.^[1] Smear frames gained popularity in the 1930s and 40s and are a way to reduce animation cost.^[2]^[3]
