Streaming Process

10. The animated film is finally released/finished and ready to present to general public.

9. After all the drawings have been filmed, the dialogue is added.

8. A special device with a lens mounted facing down on to a table top captures each frame of the animated feature.

7. Before the Animation Cels get photographed, a background is added.

6. After the outline of the characters has been made, the painters flip the Cel over and paint the colors on the back to obtain an outline and crisp characters.

5. Once the entire film has been drawn on paper, the animation drawings go to the inking department, which the inkers copy the animation drawings on to a clear Cel (clear celluloid acetate).

4. After the dialogue is recorded, the animators can make rough sketches or just the characters. Usually this drawings are quite messy, they are black and white, and no background.

3. Once the story is complete, the dialogue is recorded. This is done before animation, so the animators know what the characters will say.

2. The storyboards are presented as the story.

1. Storyboard is created, all the animators and directors come together to discuss the entire film.

Design Principles

12. Appeal

Appealing animation does not mean being cute and cuddly. All characters have to have appeal whether they are heroic, villainous, cute or comic.

11. Solid Drawing

The basic principles of drawing form, weight, volume solidity and the illusion of three dimension apply to animation.

10. Exaggeration

The caricature of facial features, expressions, poses, attitudes and actions. A character must move more broadly to look natural.

9. Timing

Timing is very important, for example: more drawings between poses slow and smooth the actions. Fewer drawings make the action faster and crisper/more robotic. A variety of slow and fast timing within a scene adds texture and interest to the movement.

8. Secondary Action

It adds to and enriches the main action and adds more dimension to the character animation, supplementing and/or re-enforcing the main action.

7. Arcs

All actions follow an arc, they give animation a more natural action and a better flow. To make it more natural

6. Slow-Out and Slow-In

Slow-Outs and Slow-Ins soften the character's actions, making it more life-like.

5. Follow Through and Overlapping Action

Overlapping Action is when the character changes direction while his clothes or hair continues forward.

When the main body of the character stops all other parts to continue to catch up the main mass of the character (arms, long hair, clothing, coat tails or a dress, floppy ears or a long tail). Nothing stops all at once.

4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose

Pose to Pose is more planned out and charted with key drawings done throughout the scene.

Straight Ahead Animation starts at the first drawing and works drawing to drawing to the end of a scene.

3. Staging

Presentation of an idea so that is is clear.

2. Anticipation

Prepares the aducience for a major action a character is about to perform. Each major action is proceeded with specific moves that anticipate for the audience what is about to happen.

1. Squash and Stretch

Gives the illusion of weight and volume to the character as it moves.

Programmers

Ingenuity and creativity are particularly important when programmers design solutions and test their work for potential failures.

This job calls for patience, persistence, and the ability to on exacting analytical work, especially under pressure.

They are individuals whose main job function is programming.

They concieve, design and test logical structures for solving problems by computer.

They write, test, and maintain the detailed instructions that computers follow.

Computer Techniques

High Level Techniques

High level techniques are typically algorithms (step by step procedures) or models used to generate a motion using a set of rules. The animator sets up the rules of the model and selects initial values. The system is then set into motion the motion of the objects is controlled by the algorithm or model.

Low Level Techniques

Consists of techniques, such as in-betweening, which helps the animator fill in the details of the motion once enough information about the motion has been specified by the animator.
