DOCUMENTARIES
We are currently in a golden age for the use of animation in documentary films.
Motion graphics can bring to life archival materials such as photographs and maps.
Infographics can explain complex ideas while keeping the audience engaged.
Animation can replace expensive reenactments for docudramas.
