1, Creation of Animation Copy
There are two forms of animation reproduction, one is voiceover reproduction. Its screen production is generally carried out in cooperation with copywriting. The other is to match related words according to the picture content to help the interpretation of the picture content. Whether it is a copy that guides the production of pictures or a copy that assists the expression of pictures, it will have a great impact on the final product effect.
2. The design of split-shot script
Story board is a way to express the creator's ideas in graphic language and visualize the lens. As a preset blueprint in animation production, the design of characters and scenes, frame-by-frame production, and later editing and dubbing are all based on the script. Professional children's animation production team attaches importance to the role of story board, as the basis of formal creation, which is also a scheme display for customers. Only by mutual understanding and recognition can we finally get a satisfactory finished product.
3. Regular animation.
In the formal creation process of children's animation production, the animation production team needs to draw characters, figures and scenes first. This work is mainly realized by Illustrator and Photoshop tools. The creation of sound includes dubbing, music and sound effects in addition to the picture material. Then, on the basis of split-shot scripts, pictures and sound materials, animation is made by combining the software AffterEffects and the editing software Premiere.
4. Post-editing of animation
In the process of children's animation production, the post-editing is mainly to grasp the rhythm of the picture, and whether the picture and sound are synchronized is the focus of investigation.
Generally speaking, the production cycle of children's animation is divided into four steps, and different schedules are similar. According to the production experience of Lexus Animation Company, the steps are as follows:
First, it takes about one to five days to collect ideas, which is an essential step.
Second, it takes one to five days to communicate with customers, and the specific implementation stage also needs division of labor.
Third, post-production takes the longest time, up to half a month. After these are completed, we must reconfirm that it can be completed within one week.
Fourth, the last job is to provide the finished product to the customer, which will be completed in three days.
A 3-minute children's animation works, the production cycle is generally 2-3 weeks, the specific situation needs to be treated specifically. If animation products are urgently needed, the cycle can be shortened to about 7 days. In this way, copywriting, animation design and post-editing have to work overtime to catch up with the progress, so the cost will increase accordingly, which is about 10%, so the production cycle will be determined according to the needs of customers.
