The Process of Creating 2D Animation

-

Creating a 2D animated piece, whether it's a short or feature film, involves a series of steps:

  1. Concept Development

    • Every animation begins with an idea. Artists and writers collaborate to develop a story, create characters, and determine the visual style of the animation.

  2. Storyboarding

    • Storyboards are the blueprint of the animation. They consist of a series of sketches that outline the sequence of events in the story, showing key actions and camera angles.

  3. Character Design and Background Art

    • Characters are designed based on the script and style of the animation. Simultaneously, background artists create the settings where the action takes place, ensuring consistency with the visual tone of the story.

  4. Animation

    • Once the characters and backgrounds are ready, the animators begin drawing the individual frames. In traditional animation, this would involve drawing hundreds or even thousands of individual images by hand. In digital 2D animation, the process involves creating keyframes and allowing the software to interpolate the "in-between" frames.

  5. Inking and Coloring

    • After the rough animations are complete, the images are refined, inked, and colored. Traditionally, this was done by hand on cels, but now digital tools allow for faster and more consistent inking and coloring.

  6. Compositing and Editing

    • The completed frames, characters, and backgrounds are composited together in the editing stage. This involves adding effects, adjusting timing, and ensuring that everything flows smoothly.

  7. Sound and Music

    • Sound effects, dialogue, and music are recorded and synchronized with the animation to bring the story to life. This aspect is crucial for creating a fully immersive experience.

How conventional 2D animation works:

-
Before computers started playing their indispensible roles in the animation industry, everything was done manually by animators, who were essentially artists. They would create a series of slides having images on it, where each slides image is the continuation of the previous one in the sequence. For example if an animator wanted to simulate a ball falling down, they would create a sequence of slides where first slide would portray the ball at the top. The next slide will show the ball, may be 1 cm lower than that in the first slide. In the next one, again lower and so on, till the last slide shows the ball hitting the ground. When the whole sequence of slides are shown in front of the viewer in a fast rate, it creates the feeling of the ball falling down. The whole process was tedious and time consuming. When computers came into play, the frame redrawing works had been minimised since, copying and pasting duplicate elements between successive frames was very easy with the computers ai

Image
Introduction This tutorial quickly runs through the major features of Moho, without going into too much detail. The purpose here is more to give an overview of how Moho works, rather than to teach you how to use any specific features. In this tutorial, we will draw and animate a very simple object. Moho has several groups of tools, used for different types of tasks. Some of these tools are used to create new objects, and others are used to modify and animate existing objects. The basic Moho tool groups are: Draw, Fill, Bone, Layer, Camera, and Workspace. This tutorial introduces a few of the Draw, Fill, and Layer tools, while the following tutorials focus specifically on each of the tool groups. Drawing a Simple Shape Launch Moho by double-clicking the Moho icon, or selecting the Moho shortcut in the Start menu (Windows). When you create a new Moho project, the application starts off looking something like this: Select the Oval tool by clicking on it in the toolbar. In the tool options
