I clean up in photoshop and drop it back into my leika reel again (that’s the story-board reel you did…with your story-boards and then rough animation. I export the rough scene by scene into separate folders, and then import each scene’s frames into Photoshop. You can see how rough my first pass is, with frames missing in between to time things out properly. I do all my rough animation at once, so it’ll be easier to crop out scenes i don’t need and time out each scene easier after all, it’s less heart breaking when you cut off some rough drawing than cutting off the few frames you spent hours on, hahaha. I did my animation in Digicel Flipbook, but traditional, flash, or even photoshop will work too. Once i complete the background, I go on to rough animation. I like doing my backgrounds first since it sets up the composition a lot better, especially if your character’s feet is touching the ground, you’ll have to make sure the perspective is right as it’s interacting with the ground. You keep adjusting to the best of your abilities. From that time, you kind of get a feel of how fast everything will be moving and how the cuts are going to go. For this I used Adobe Premier to put the storyboard reel together. Once you have your storyboards done (either on cards or in photoshop), you time it out and put it into a reel (storyboard reel) with maybe a placeholder music, called “scratch tracks”. I'm going to go through the whole process for my whole short film.īasically, you have an idea, then you sketch out your characters. I know this isn't actually a tutorial tutorial, but it's the best i can do for now, because animation is such a broad subject it's really hard to actually focus on a part and do a tutorial on it. I've had quite a few people ask me how I animate and how the process of animation is done, so I figured that it's better if i share it on dA and not just tumblr, hahaha.
