Guided Notes
3 key concepts

Traditional animation, also known as cell animation, involves animators drawing every frame by hand to create the illusion of movement.
- 2
Unlike traditional animation, 2D animation utilizes vector-based programs like Flash, allowing animators to create rigs for characters and move body parts individually.
