  • receiving input that selects an animation aspect associated with an object within an animation, the animation involving the object and an original frame of reference through which the animation is displayed, and the selected animation aspect being one that changes over time with respect to the original frame of reference;

    displaying the animation through a new frame of reference defined by holding the selected animation aspect constant over time;

    during the animation display through the new frame of reference, receiving input that manipulates the object relative to the new frame of reference to create a new animation aspect associated with the object creating a compound animation of the object in the original frame of reference; and
