frame by frame
Animation's building blocks
Frame by frame describes examining or presenting something one still image at a time, as in film or video where motion is created by rapid succession of individual frames.
Analysts go frame by frame to catch details invisible at normal speed: We reviewed the footage frame by frame to see exactly what happened.
The phrase suggests painstaking, methodical scrutiny.
