  • What are these effects called?

    Hi there! Recently I’ve seen a video that made me wow and I would like to know what the effects in the video were called. They seem to be like little drawn-on animations but I want to know the specific name of them. Here are some images of the effects:

    This trumpet moves slightly when trumpet noises happen in the song.


    When he flicks his fingers a little animation shows up.

    When he slaps down his hand an animated dust cloud thingy appears.

    And finally in this one when the scissor blades meet then a little droplet effect shoots out.

    I’m really interested in these effects and I was wondering if anyone knew what they were called and possibly where I could learn them?
    The video this was found in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KReoTOZK9W8

    Please help! Thanks c:
    Stephan

    Most were hand drawn. They may have animated scale, position but it’s started with a drawing. There have been a few conversations about this on the Cow in the past. Here’s one that discusses it in the expressions forum.
