4. 01 -RESEARCHING AND
BRAINSTORMING
The creators writers and animators
come up with idea for the story of
animation research. Research is done
to look into the specific aspects of the
plot. The creators wonder into the
subject of animation who will be the
primary and secondary characters, and
when and where the story will be set
on. They chalk and plan out the basic
outline where the story is going to
begin and where it would stop.

5. 02 -SCRIPTWRITING AND
STORY BOARDING
A sequential outline of the story is
written with dialogue for each
character and the happenings and
occurrences that are going to take
place in each and every scene. A script
is essentially a textual form of how the
animation process is going to like.
Based on the script a brief handmade
or computer aided 2d sketch of every
scene is known as story board. The
story board serves as the basis of all
further animation process.

6. 03 -DIALOGUE RECORDING
To give life to the characters voice
over artist record the dialogues of
different characters reading from
script. They add to the personality,
expression and the specific accent of
the characters and this helps the
animators to create exact mouth
movements of the characters as they
speak.

7. 04-ANIMATION
PRODUCTION
At this stage the actual job of animation begins. A
layout of characters is created showcasing the
characters size shape and environment. A 2D
animation is used as a layout for 3D animation. After
that a geometric surface representation of each
object is created in Modeling texturing, is done to
add surface properties to various objects. Rigging
involves putting a bone structure into object so that
animators may move specific parts of the object.
Lighting is done to set a certain mood for a scene
shadows of objects and characters. Finally all
elements of animation such as characters objects
and backgrounds etc are separated into different
layers in the process of rendering.

8. 05 -ANIMATION POST
PRODUCTION
In final stage Compositing is performed
which puts together the different
layers rendered layers rendered
previously. Visual effects such as dust
raindrops, park blasts etc are added
into animation if required. Sound
effects are recorded for different
objects and events of animation
sequence.

9. 06 -CHOOSING SOFTWARE
While creating animation the first step is to choose
the software that best fit ones need, budget, and skill
level. There are free and paid options with various
features and pros and cons. Popular and accessible
software include Blender a free and open source 3d
animation software. Adobe animates paid 2d
animation software, Vyond a paid online animation a
software with a drag and drop interface, library of
templates characters and assets. Powton paid online
animation software with more customization options
and style. Each of these may create realistic or
stylized animation, motion graphics and visual effects,
video editing, animated videos for business
education, marketing animated presentation,
explainer videos and social media content.

10. 07 -PLAN YOUR ANIMATION
The next step to create animations is to plan ones
animation. This involves defining your purpose
audience message and style. One should write a
script, story board and animatic to outline your
animation. Design ones assets- The third step to
create animation is to design one assets. These
elements make one animation such a background ,
characters, props and text . Depending on ones
software and style one may create ones assets from
scratch use premade assets .

11. 08 -VOICE OVER
NARRATION
Choosing the right Actor- The crucial
animation step involves bringing the script to
life with the right narrator. It is important to
choose a professional voice over talent that
may help set the tone of the video. In this
phase of animation production process one
may listen to a pool of talented voice over
artist and select the favourite one. One may
find it pretty hard to choose only one to help
one narrow down the talented voice over
artist.

12. 09 -IIUSTRATION
Creating the characters and background.- Once
we get your approval on the style frames and all
the previous animation process, it’s time to start
working on the design of the different graphic
asset. The illustration step may be processed
using traditional animation methods such the
hand drawn technique or using computer
software using Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop or
both. While illustrating with digital tool the artist
may sketch their character and background
ideas using different digital brushes provided by
software. They may start working directly on
canvas or separate layer to allow for quick
adjustments and to easily undo or change stroke.
By separating the different layers one may
prepare them for rigging and animation.

13. 09 -DELIVERABLE
Fine tuning the detail- The animation
process is over. All one have to do is to
adjust the video to one liking. Since one is
committed to satisfy the clients to the
fullest as part of animation production
workflow one may like to do changes.

14. The artwork is created with high resolution to ensure clarity and
detail and it is exported in suitable file format such as PNG and
JPG for individual image files or PSD And AI for layered files.
Integration- Putting together everything, as apart of final stage of
animation production every digital asset and individual frame
must undergo rendering. This mean they will combine into a
single video file according to the artist specification. The
animation process will be customized one may set desired
resolution aspect ratio, frame rate and more parameters
depending on project requirement. One may think that rendering
may be one of the time consuming part making animated video
particularly if one is dealing with complex scene or high quality
output.
