The Animation Process.

There are lots of different elements that go into the process of making an animated film:

1: A good idea

2: Script




3: Character design


4: Background design


5: Voice recording


6: Storyboarding




7: Animation

8: Composite (putting it all together).

9: Editing

10: Sound effects

11: Music


12: Output to DVD

1. The first and most important part is the idea.





2. Then we write the story down as a script, this includes all the dialogue or speaking parts and what happens.

3. Design, you’re going to make  animation using Pencil software that you will need to learn. You first have to decide what the characters will look like. What backgrounds will look like. This comes from the research you did.


4. When we have a good script written and characters designed the next part is to make a storyboard. This looks a bit like a comic but with directions for all the people involved; animators, editors, sound people.


5. Next we need to record the voices for the characters in our animation. Some people will be really good at doing superhero voices and some will be good at designing characters, some will get involved with writing the script others will enjoy being an animator.


6. When we have the voices recorded and characters designed then we can look at our storyboard and start animating. This is when we use the Pencil software as we move the designs around and make them live.


7. Finally we can add sound effects and music, this is great fun and some of you might want to get involved.


Task 1: In order to develop your idea, you need to first flesh out the story and decide what characters are involved. You need to do this in the form of a mind map or spider gram. work in groups.
