2D Computer Graphic Animation

2D computer graphic animation is the computer-based generation of digital images and they are mostly from  two dimensional models and by techniques specific to them. 2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing  technologies, such as typography,cartography,technical drawing,advertising, etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two-dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics.

The equipment they used at that time was digital scanner, digital camera, drawing tablet. 

The first year 2D graphic animation was used was in 1960 and featured a 30-second vector animation of a car traveling down a planned highway at 110 km/h was created at The Swedish Royal Institute Of  Technology on the BESK computer. The short animation was broadcast on the 9th of November 1961 on national television.

The advantages of using 2D computer graphic animation is speed of development and flexibility of digital imagery and the disadvantages are  Sophisticated and expenses hardware and high degree of expertise required.
