When Lilach from CommsAxis reached out to me about GoAnimate, I knew it was something I seriously need to dig into. I’m talking about high quality ones and I’m sure you want that as well.

I created a brief and simple whiteboard video below with speech bubbles rather than audio to demonstrate what I completed in around 30 minutes.

Here, I’m going to take you on a tour of Vyond, previously known as GoAnimate, where I think you can have a creative and fun experience.
