The animator is a professional artist who creates animated images and videos. Animators use a variety of techniques to create motion graphics, including traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop motion, and 3D animation. Animators are responsible for creating characters, backgrounds, and other elements that make up an animated scene. They also work with sound designers to create sound effects and music for their projects. Animators must be able to think creatively and have a strong understanding of the principles of animation in order to create compelling visuals.
