In drawn [[Traditional animation|animation]], moving characters are often shot "on twos", that is to say, one drawing is shown for every two frames of film (which usually runs at 24 frame per second), meaning there are only 12 drawings per second.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chew |first1=Johnny |title=What Are Ones, Twos, and Threes in Animation? |url=https://www.lifewire.com/what-are-ones-twos-and-threes-4057778 |publisher=[[Lifewire]] |access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref> Even though the image update rate is low, the fluidity is satisfactory for most subjects. However, when a character is required to perform a quick movement, it is usually necessary to revert to animating "on ones", as "twos" are too slow to convey the motion adequately. A blend of the two techniques keeps the eye fooled without unnecessary production cost.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Whitaker |first1=Harold |last2=Sito |first2=John Halas; updated by Tim |title=Timing for animation |date=2009 |publisher=Elsevier/Focal Press |location=Amsterdam |isbn=978-0240521602 |page=52 |edition=2nd |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yMgqBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA52 |access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref>

Animation for most "[[Saturday morning cartoon]]s" was produced as cheaply as possible and was most often shot on "threes" or even "fours", i.e. three or four frames per drawing. This translates to only 8 or 6 drawings per second respectively. [[Anime]] is also usually drawn on threes or twos.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=61 |title=Shot on threes (ones, twos, etc.) |website=Anime News Network}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=CLIP STUDIO PAINT アニメーション機能の使い方 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQalCLD6ky0&t=833 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211104/qQalCLD6ky0| archive-date=2021-11-04 | url-status=live|last=CLIP STUDIO |date=12 February 2016 |via=YouTube }}{{cbignore}}</ref>
