Does your company need help with an animation project?


Stock animation can help. Stock animation is used primarily on


the web and on TV. They are used to present information, to


entertain and to keep the viewer interested in what is


happening. They are used across many industries from news


organizations to engineering firms. Because of the great need


for animations many companies have begun to sell stock animation


to help streamline the creative process.







Most animation projects are time intensive and require a lot of


creative thought and energy. Stock animation help reduce the


time, thought and energy that is needed for a project. Stock


animation is often used as a starting place for the animator.


The animator will then build on the animation to get the desired


result. Stock animation is also used as a background for other


creative elements. Suppose that you want to make your own DVD.


Do you have the skills to make a quality animation for the


background? If not you could use a stock animation to help make


your DVD look like it was professionally done. Stock animations


can be used as backgrounds to make on screen text more


interesting. News companies use this all of the time to make


plain text more interesting.







Formats







Stock animation comes in several different formats. Each


format is suited for a different purpose.







Animated Gifs







Gif stands for graphics interchange format. These are the small


and often annoying animations that you see on web pages. You can


find thousands of stock animations in this format for free


download on the internet. The quality of these animations is


usually very poor as they were designed to be compact for use on


the internet. Generally you should stay away from this type of


animation, except for a very few cases, as they often annoy the


user.







Flash animation







Flash animation is the most versatile of all the formats


as they can easily be converted for use on TV or DVD. Flash uses


vector graphics which means it stores most of the information


about the animation as a mathematical formula instead of pixel


by pixel, frame by frame. This is useful because it can be


scaled easily to fit any size that is needed. Stock animation


for Flash is harder to find and will usually cost money.


However, they can save a lot of time.







Composite animation







Composite animations are created by combining several


different animated elements together to create the finished


product. These animations tend to be very high quality and very


visually appealing. They are often used for TV because of their


high quality. You will almost always pay a premium price for


these animations. But, you will get what you paid for. Composite


stock animation can give your project a very professional and


creative look very quickly.







Each stock animation format has its use. The type of project


will determine the best type of stock animation. If used wisely,


stock animation will save time and energy. Stock animation will


also give your projects the professional look that you want.
