It
would take an entire course, or a series of courses
to get a complete understanding of the quickly changing
world of "motion graphics." But you
should have at least a working knowledge.
2D:
Most of the motion graphics you see on television today
are "2D". In short, 2D motion graphics
are images that are created in a computer and then blended
in a graphics program. They move left or right, get
bigger or smaller, fade in or out etc. Typically a number
of different graphics are layered on screen at once--with
each graphic moving in a different direction!
Generally,
any form of movement is called "animation."
Many people have the preconceived notion that animation
refers to Disney style cartoons. But ANY movement of
any graphic fits the defintion of animation.
The
most popular program used to create moving 2D graphics
these days is called "After Effects" although there
are many others.
