2D Animation Defined. 2D animation focuses on creating characters, storyboards, and backgrounds in two-dimensional environments. Often thought of as traditional animation, the figures can move up and down, left, and right. They do not appear to move toward or away from the viewer, as they would in 3D animation. 2D animation uses bitmap and vector graphics to create and edit the animated images and is created using computers and software programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, and Encore.
4. Basic animation terms. One way of creating an animation is to create a first frame by hand, then manually create another frame a few frames away that is significantly different from the first one. Then use an automatic process to create the in-between frames. These important frames are called keyframes.
