2D animation involves the creation of moving images within a two-dimensional space.

2D Animation makes use of bitmaps and vectors in order to breathe life into characters and narratives. The animation will be ‘flat’, making use of already existing images created with the help of computers and software (Eg. Adobe Photoshop, Flash, After Effects etc.). These images will gain movement across the screen.

Frames are the building blocks of movement. Each frame is a static image, and when played in sequence at a rapid pace, they create the illusion of motion.
