When the team has been assembled. The team begins a long process
of set
procedures, which all animators worldwide use. Below the many set
procedures are
described in full detail.
1.Script
The script is the first stage in all film production. In an
animation
script, the visual action in the plot and performance is far more
important than
the dialogue.
2.Storyboard
The storyboard is a series of roughly drawn images that convey
the
action described in the script. This scene-by-scene portrayal helps the
writer,
director and animation team to access the content of the project and to
correct
any deficiencies in the scripted story.
3.Soundtrack
After the script and storyboard are completed, the recording of
any
dialogue or key music is undertaken. Since traditional animation relies
on
perfect synchronization of the picture to the soundtrack, the animator
must
receive the recorded track before beginning to draw.
4.Design
Designers create visual interpretations of all the actors in the
script.
When these interpretations are approved, the actors are drawn from many
angles
on a model sheet which the animators will use as a reference.
5.Leica Reel
A Leica reel is a filmed storyboard which can be projected in
synchronization with the soundtrack. It helps the director see how the
film is
shaping up and make any changes to its visual aspects before animation
is begun.
6.Line Tests
Line tests are animation drawings, produced in pencil on paper,
filmed
to the precise timings of each scene. As line tests are approved they
are cut
into Leica reel, replacing the original drawings and giving the
director an even
better idea of how the final film will look.
7.Cleanup
Cleanup artists take the animation drawings now and clean them
up, to
give them a consistent visual style.
9.Backgrounds
Background artists produce the animation's backgrounds, the
background
is everything behind or, sometimes, in front of the actors that does
not move.
10.Checking
The finished animation cells are passed to the checker, who
makes sure
that everything is correctly drawn, traced, painted and prepared for the
cameraman who is to finally film it.
11.Final Shoot
When the checker is satisfied that all the artwork for each
scene is
correct, the artwork is passed to the camera operator who shoots the
final scene.
12.Dubbing
When the whole film exists in final form, and the director is
satisfied
with it, the editor, with the director, chooses sound effects to go
with the
action in the film. These sound effects are then laid in
synchronization with
the action, and mixed with the voice track and music on one complete
soundtrack.
13.Answer Print
Creating an answer print involves merging the sound and picture
on one
piece of 24 frames per second film, the film is now ready for
projection!
