    Motion Graphics vs. Animation: Is There a Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Motion graphics are self-explanatory. If you see graphics on the screen and they are moving, that’s an example of motion graphics. But you might be thinking, “Animation is the general term for anything that moves, so is motion graphics considered animation?” The answer is yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Animation is broad, and under it are 2D animation, 3D animation, typography animation, claymation, cartoons, and\u2014you guessed it\u2014motion graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When choosing among these animation types, you should think about whether the video that will be made is story-based or movement-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you just want to amaze your audience with some breathtaking graphical movements, go for motion graphics. But if you want to tell stories to capture their emotions<\/a>, then that won’t be possible with motion graphics because motion graphics are simply graphics that move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
