Process comparison two type of animation

Traditional Animation
Traditional animation requires cels and backgrounds to be created separately; computer
animation doesn't. According to animator Jan-Eric Nystrm, hand-painted backgrounds are
created much like a landscape painting. The animator draws the character in relation to the
background. Each frame is drawn and then transferred onto a cel, which is a thin, transparent
plastic sheet. The sheets allow for a limited number of drawings to be used in multiple ways and
in combination, thus cutting down the amount of drawing required. Each cel is then
photographed until the film is shot.
Below are steps of drawn animation process

1. The idea / story structure
2. The Storyboard
3. Sound is recorded
4. Analyze sound length in number of frame
5. Sound analysis entered on dope sheets
6. Layout for scene drawn up
7. Director uses layout and dope sheet to plan movement and timing
8. Background painted on paper
9. Movement drawing on paper
10. Complete drawing entered on dope sheet
11. Movement drawings tested on line tester
12. Correct drawing and timing
13. Trace movement drawing onto cells
14. Paint on color or color cells
15. Cells and background come together
16. Cells and background combined on film
17. Exposed negative sent to lab for processing
18. Sound and pictures edited
19. Soundtrack mixed in dubbing studio
20. Negative to lab for cutting with cut print and final sound
21. Lab makes final print
22. Print projected to audience
22.a Film transferred to DVD/VCD/Tape

The diagram summarizes the traditional process of the production of a animated film. for
the techniques of cut out animation , sand and paint over glass, etc., see the separate
articles. The division of tasks illustrated has evolved from the need to divide the work
between different people with different skills so that the time taken to make a film is
commercially viable.

Steps 1, 2 and 3 lay the foundation of the film and provide, at 4 and 5, material from
which the film can be planned. The animation director 6 takes the timing information on
the dope sheet and the picture planning of the layout 7 for each scene and initiates the
movement drawing. While the background 8 is finalized as a separate strand, the main
burden of the film such as the animated drawing of the action, works its way through a
process of refinement 10 and 11 to 12. Once the movement drawings are satisfactory,
they pass to cel workers who reproduce them in color on transparent acetate 13 and 14.
The cels and the dope sheet are united with the background 15, and each scene is
carefully checked before it passes to the camera. The camera operator reads from the
dope sheet the background, the cels and the and the camera move required for each frame
as he shoots it 16. The film goes to the laboratory for developing and printing 17, and the
printed scenes are edited against the sound 18 to produce the cutting copy (or work
print). When all the component sound tracks have been similarly fitted to the picture,
they are mixed together 19 into a single master sound track. The negative rolls now go
with the picture cutting, copies to be edited match it, and from the cut negative, a
properly graded final print is made 21. As a print with a combined sound track, this can
be projected as film. For TV and video, it is usual to transfer from a separate mute print
and the sound master.












Steps of Model Animation Process



1. The idea
2. The storyboard
3. Sound is recorded
4. Analysis sound length in number of frame
5. Design puppet and sets
6. Make puppet and sets
7. Animate puppet on set
8. Record to film
8.a Record to tape
9. Negative sent to lab for processing
10. Sound and pictures edited
11. Tracks mixed in dubbing studio
12. Negative to lab for cutting, with cut print and final sound
13. Lab makes final print
14. Print projected to audience
14.a Copy to DVD/VCD/Tape


Production level for model (or puppet) is similar to those for drawn work, but specialized
craft tasks are different
Steps 1 to 4 in the initial planning and steps 9 to 14 of the post production stage are much the
same as for drawn animation. However, film is more common as medium for movement
recording, so there is less use of digital technology in that part of the process. The director
takes the sound analysis of 4 and plans and times out the broad outlines of the action, scene
by scene. Then, once the puppets and sets have been designed 5 and made 6, they are brought
together for shooting. The movement is created directly and spontaneously, frame by frame,
in front of the camera 7, either onto film or videotape 8. The combining of the picture with
sound follows a pattern similar to that of drawn animation.































Computer Animation Process



1. The idea
2. Storyboard
3. Record
4. Timing breakdown and planning proceed to 5 or 5.a
5a. Animation drawing
5b. Line test
5c. Approved version of drawing scanned into computer
5. Animate and background or computer (wire frame)
6. Color and complete animation and background
7. Completed picture on disk with sound elements to dubbing
8. Sound synched and laid digitally
9. Sound and picture on digital tape
10.a To broadcast
10. To film recorder for film copies.
Production systems use another computer in point where traditional process takes over by
computer work. For some, every level after initial planning was done by animators
work in computer; to another, only dye animation drawn traditional made digitally
.
Animation director take rule information time and picture planning layout for
per layout scene, and start movement painting. While
background finalized because separate a strand, film main burden; animated
illustration action, work the road through one refining process
Once movement paintings satisfactory, they pass to workers cel that breed them in
color in transparent acetate
Cels and background paper united and every scene checked carefully before it passes
to camera.
Camera operator reads from background paper ,cels and camera move requires
every frame when he shooting it.
Films go the laboratory to develop and print.
The printed scenes are edited against the sound to produce the cutting copy (or work
print)
When all component songs has similar attach to picture, they mixed together into a
single master soundtrack
The negative rolls now go with the picture cutting copy to be edited to match it.
From deduction negative a properly grading final print is made.
As a print with a combined sound track this can be projected as film.
