Benefits of 2D Animation Over 3D Animation

• There are different animation styles practised
  today.
• The rising demand for 3D Animation in media has
  raised questions as to which method of animation
  production is superior 2D or 3D.

5

• Both 2D and 3D styles have created incredible and
  imaginative content consumed by millions around
  the world, and both methods have their pros and
  cons.
• There is no best animation style out there.
• If that were the case, then all the animation and
  video games look similar because production
  companies only use the best style.

6

• But with all the attention 3D animation receives
  in the Hollywood and video games, it might be a
  good idea to take a look at something that makes
  2D animation so strong.

Quicker and Cheaper

• It takes longer to produce 3D animation than it
  does in 2D.
• The complexity of the artwork and production in
  the 3D animated piece is obvious when compared to
  traditional.
• In 3D, artists and designers have to add more
  dimensions to their work to give the content a
  graphic and realistic feel.

• Such matters are not important in the flatter
  world of the 2D animation, saving animation
  production teams a great deal of effort and time.
• Because of the relative simplicity, 2D animation
  is also getting cheaper and more cost effective
  to produce.
• Video production is not as long and not as
  detailed as 3D, so fewer resources are required
  for creation.

Freedom in the Art

• With 3D animation, you have scenes far more bound
  to reality.
• 3D appears lifelike even if characters are
  talking animals.
• What you have is something that mimics world
  rather than escapes it.

11

• 2D animation is different.
• There can be strange explosions or odd background
  effects, and we accept that all because of the
  style.

Simplicity

• Simplicity, not every animated video needs to
  look real, lifelike and incredibly complex.
• Sometimes the simplicity is what attracts the
  attention and success.

14

• Example The point of an animated explainer video
  is to explain a concept shortly and simply.
• While more graphics and visuals might look
  interesting, 3D would divert the focus away from
  the actual message.
• In an explainer video, animation acts as an aid
  to what is being said.

15

• With 3D animation, the depths and visuals can be
  stunning, but they can also be too much for
  certain projects.
• Our favourite mobile games, like Candy Crush
  Saga, certainly could have been produced in the
  3D, but the point of the game is simplicity, even
  if games themselves can be frustrating.

16

• 3D animation is a amazing method of production,
  and it has given us remarkable content.
• 2D, however, can sometimes be overshadowed and
  ignored in favor of the 3D.
• When given a second look, 2D animation has shown
  itself to be just as good, if not better, than
  the other methods of production.
