# Blender Animation
Animate properties over time. Most animation is just keyframes — the trick is choosing the right interpolation and easing for the motion's character.
## Decision tree
```
What kind of motion?
├── Object movement (translate / rotate / scale)
│ → Keyframe `location` / `rotation_euler` / `scale`
│ → Recipe 1, 2
│
├── Mechanical / constant speed (gears, conveyor belts, scrolling)
│ → Linear interpolation
│ → Recipe 3
│
├── Natural / organic (most things)
│ → Bezier interpolation with auto handles
│ → Recipe 1
│
├── Cartoon / stylized (overshoot, bounce, anticipation)
│ → Bounce / Elastic / Back easing
│ → Recipe 4
│
├── Facial / morph / blendshape
│ → Shape Keys, animate `value` property
│ → Recipe 5
│
├── Mechanical relations (one property = function of another)
│ → Drivers (Python expression)
│ → Recipe 6
│
└── Reusable / layered animations
→ NLA actions
→ Recipe 7
```
## Recipes
### Recipe 1 — Animate object position (Bezier, natural)
```python
import bpy
obj = bpy.data.objects['GEO-target']
scene = bpy.context.scene
scene.frame_start = 1
scene.frame_end = 60
scene.render.fps = 24
# Keyframe 1: at frame 1, at origin
scene.frame_set(1)
obj.location = (0, 0, 0)
obj.keyframe_insert('location', frame=1)
# Keyframe 2: at frame 60, moved to (5, 0, 0)
scene.frame_set(60)
obj.location = (5, 0, 0)
obj.keyframe_insert('location', frame=60)
print(f"animated:{obj.name} 1->60")
```
Default interpolation = Bezier (smooth in/out
