![]() We can produce a wide range of animation solutions for some quite specialist applications. We do this using a tool called Adobe Flash and can build lightweight and smooth animations delivered via the web, email and CD-Rom, or even rendered as video for use on DVD.
Simple web animation is small and cost effective, and should be used to enhance a website in conjunction with XHTML and CSS, and never as a substitute. Animation can be used as a marketing tool in the form of multimedia greetings cards and brand-building/viral marketing. The proportion of the cost is quite high though and is mostly a luxury enjoyed by medium sized enterprises and larger. In the form of a multimedia presentation in a corporate environment, a smooth and carefully crafted animation will definitely give you the edge, and makes information far easier to absorb than those endless PowerPoint slides with bullet points and pie charts. We have also produced animations for information kiosks, to present complex and layered information in an easily accessible format. |
