Animation Studio

Animated Communications 3DChor Video Effects Studio allows head shots to be grafted onto any of hundreds of provided 3D animated characters, which can then be integrated directly into a video project. All elements can be controlled using motion paths, and all characters have a number of pre-defined funny and clever actions.
