Meaningful Learning Theory stresses the importance of the link between existing ideas and new information, during the knowledge acquisition process. The efficiency of this process depends, among other factors, on the presence of subsumers. In the absence of these elements, previous organizers may be employed. They are learning resources that help to prepare anchoring ideas. This research investigates the implementation of an advance organizer in the form of a short-length digital animation. We discuss the educational and technical criteria involved in this task. An animation was created for a Physics class and proved to be effective in the role of advance organizer. The paper enumerates guidelines to create a short animation with the function of advance organizer.
