Affordances of Animation

The affordances of animation relate to the matter of what animation can do that film cameras can not. For example: You can't make a person explode on film in comparison to in animation. For a process such as an exploding person, animation is a much more preferred method as its effect are more suitable in comparison to on film, which although let's say, we can film a rocket flying to the moon, it is much more expensive and more time-consuming than if we did the exact same process but using animation techniques to create this scene.
