Afordances of Animation

The Afordances of animation is a term referring to the fact that you can create exactly what you want with animation because you can draw it unlike in cinematography where you would have to pay lots for special effects.

For example in the clip from the video game Grand theft auto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SX1eYn4TOg) you see a car blowing up compared to in Skyfall when the house explodes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R3N5ByTnIM) The cost to perform all the CGI and special effects in Skyfall would be monstrous compared to the animation used to make the explosions in Grand theft auto this highlights the theory of the Afordances of Animation.
