Sometimes transitions are seemless, and at other times each photograph in a motion picture scene will be staged and shot individually (e.g. claymation, stop-action, special effects).
When looking not at photographs but at sequential historical "fossil" evidence, one likeiwse has to ask if each sequential stage was deliberately designed/staged or evolved by chance, whether one is referring to the carcuses of cars rusting in old junkyards or old skeletons ossifying under ground.
Certainly concluding that both cars and skeletons "evolved" would be erroneous, as at the very least we know full well that it was the intelligent designers of the cars who improved each model, not the cars themselves "evolving"...
