One of my students is working on a video project using Synfig Studio.

It’s an open source program that uses vector based graphics to create animation. You can see sample movies created here. If you have worked with Flash before, you have created vector based animation.
Synfig is a little rough around the edges. The program is still in alpha (pre-beta). Expect it to get better with time. It is available in all major operating system flavors. Of course, the price is right… free.
