2D animation – Motion Graphics
Using flash and since starting to get involved with After Effects. I make simple quirky character animations or full scale interactive story games. Flash uses a more of cell-by-cell frame animation method closer to traditional animation where as After effects uses Keyframes something which similar to a rigging system. After Effects looks to be an incridbly powerful program with video editing capabilties and animation.
