What are the general production steps of animation?

First, the script is determined.

After getting the customer information, it is necessary to start to determine the script, and you need to pay special attention to three points, namely: convenient post-production, pay attention to Party A's requirements, and add jokes.

1. Convenient for post-production.

1) Number of words: According to the duration, one minute is about 220-250 words;

2) Reasonable scene imagination: the process of roughly conceiving the flow of animation in your mind, and then using words to express the picture in your mind according to a certain logic.

3) Convenient to call the original materials: figuring out which materials can be called can greatly save post-production costs.

2. Party A's requirements.

In some places, the wording must be accurate, such as: company name, cooperation unit, product function, specific place name file name and **, etc., as well as sensitive places (** project is even more so), must be checked repeatedly, if the production is completed and then modified, it will be time-consuming and costly.

3. Add laughs.

2. Dubbing. Once you've decided on the script, it's time to take it for dubbing. Different dubbing teachers are very different, the price is thousands of yuan per minute, and the cheap one may be less than 100 yuan (but the effect is weighed by yourself); The one found in different channels may be cheaper.

3. Make a storyboard.

In order to give customers a sense of a rough animation rhythm, Lingzhi Animation will make the script initially "visualized", which can:

1. Make a simple storyboard: Generally, you can draw directly with flash, if not, a simple material collage can also be used.

2. Determine the key roles: the characters are finalized with the customers one by one.

4. Animation production.

The design software basically uses PS and AI to draw and AE and Flash to animate.

One point to add: 1. AE has a wealth of presets and plug-ins, and is better at doing some dynamic effects, such as screen switching, etc., which is very efficient and has a variety of rhythms.

2. Flash is good at doing some character animation, and the hand-drawing ability is good.

5. Modifications. Once completed, it will inevitably need to be modified. This is where it is very easy to tear each other apart, and it is also an important part of determining the quality of service.

Animation production is no different than other text schemes, and the repeated and massive modification of animation means that the cost increases exponentially. The script, dubbing, storyboarding, and character design are all finalized with the client repeatedly in advance in order to reduce the amount of final revisions.

(1) Determine the script: Like other film and television dramas, for cartoons, the script is still "the book of a play".

2) Storyboarding: The director draws a sketch of the storyboard similar to a broken picture.

3) Character modeling: The main creative staff will do the character modeling and scene design according to the script and storyboard.

4) Original art creation: All key pictures are drawn by the animation designer.

5) Illustration production: The assistant animator draws the middle picture of the two original paintings, and then the rest of the artists complete the continuous action painting of the character.

6) Drawing and coloring: Printing the animation sketch on the film to draw and color.

7) Shooting: After shooting with a special movie camera, edit according to the order of the script and the director's requirements.

8) Dubbing soundtrack: After recording, the recorded dialogue, **, and sound effects are synthesized on the film film.

First model, then make the model move, and finally add special effects and sounds.

1.Storyboard: The director draws a sketch similar to *** according to the text script to show the actions described in the script. While drawing the shots in the storyboard, there should be corresponding explanations for the actions, lines, time, camera instructions, and screen connections.

2.Design: The design work includes character design, scene design, prop design and lens design, etc., and the design should be carried out in accordance with strict standards.

3.Original Storyboard: There is also a special storyboard paper for animation, with printed rectangular grids on it, in which the rough outline of each scene of the animation is drawn.

4.Dubbing Editing: Anime requires editing just like movies, but editing is relatively simple and combines each shot in order, appropriately.
