When we are talk about animations, some people may think they are naive and boring. Actually, animation is not a simple video that shows the movements, it is a much deeper thing. Do you know how long should the people spend to make an animation and how much different type of skills that are include in an animation? Make movements and special effects need computer techniques; draw beautiful styles need art skills; and the person who makes up the plot of the animations should have a new and different thought, or that animation will never attract audiences' attention.
Pre-Production
This is the very first and most important process in the animation pipeline. In fact, this step is very simple. It is just the prepare work before making an animation.
The very first thing that animators need to do is make story boards. The Storyboard is an essential stage of the animation process, because they are very helpful to finalize the development of the storyline, visualise the animation and to communicate ideas clearly. The details change in the scenes and describing things by text notes, such as camera movements. Once the storyboards have been approved, they are sent to the layout department, then director can start to design the locations and costumes.
Next step of prepare is model sheet. Model sheets are precisely drawn groups of pictures that show all of the possible expressions that a character can make, and all of the different poses that they can adopt. During this stage, the character designs are finalized so their blueprints can be sent to the modeling department who is creating the final character models when production starts.
