1. He is an animator.
2. He is an animation maker.
(Can we use #2? are both the same? Do you have another name for 'animator'?)
We probably would not use #2. Synonyms for "animator" don't quite apply. They include "illustrator," "craftsman", and other words that don't seem to fit well (to me). We might say someone creates animation, which is a moving picture as in a video or film.
Yes, both statements convey the same meaning. "Animator" and "animation maker" can be used interchangeably to refer to someone who creates animations. Another name for an animator could be "animation artist" or simply "animator."
