How to make a cartoon? Part One: General Concept

Many are wondering how to make a cartoon, in which programs do cartoons who make cartoons, etc. Questions.

In this article I will answer some of them.

Introduction

First you need to determine for yourself the objective of the project, which you want to achieve, creating an animated cartoon. Because of weak motivation, such projects live up to the maximum before the modeling, therefore it should be seriously motivated.

Preparatory process of creating a cartoon.

So, any process begins with the idea. A thought came to your head: "And not to miss the cartoon. Well, what is it fashionable now and many do "

Reference (auxiliary materials)

Concept

The concept of the concept includes such things like - the cartoon style in the plan of visualization, the overall idea of \u200b\u200bthe cartoon, the number of characters and their appearance, as well as character, training or entertainment cartoon, multi-sieuled or one series, etc. These things must be disassembled, otherwise there may be holes that will have to disassemble.

After viewing the references and the development of the cartoon concept, you can start working on the script, given the subtleties of the production case. If you have never been engaged in animation, I congratulate, for the first time you will come across a bunch of incomprehensible plans and unnecessary work, but it is still very useful for our own development.

Sketches (sketches)

After the script is written, it's time to do drawings of characters, as well as the world (locations in which heroes will hang out)

The following item for creating a cartoon follows a storyboard.

From Wikipedia

- the sequence of drawings serving auxiliary means when creating movies, cartoons, commercials. The process of creating rounds in the current form was developed in the Walt Disney studio in the early 1930s after several years of use of similar equipment in Walt Disney and other animated studios.

Stripping helps to see how plans will look like on paper.

Animatik

Animatics are very different, the easiest of it is collected in a single video as a sequence. Well, if there is a ready-made or at least a rough sound in the animatics, so that there was an exemplary timing.

Next level of animation is a rough animation of characters with sound.

The more worked with an animator gets an animator, the better the more accurate animator makes his job.

Compos

Composition - this is a mixing of all parts of animation and the creation of special effects for video and cartoons by plans.

At this stage, we will combine layers with beggund, add sound, light effects and working with color. In general, most of the beauty and charm of the cartoon is done at this stage.

Installation

Minimizing in a single film of the whole project. We collect all the plans and scenes that came together earlier. We add sound effects or change them if they were not made at the stage of the Composure.
