You’ve heard the hype – animated video is a powerful way to convey your message and make an impact on your audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ‘animation’ – far from being one specific type of video – is a broad church. There are actually many different types of popular animation techniques available – from traditional flipbook animation to computer generated imagery and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
