(the complexity and timeline varies for each project) |
||
| 1st Week | FINAL
STORYBOARD - drawings are created as
the blueprint for the action and dialog CHARACTER design & building of 3D Models TRANSFER of Live action into computer for registration with Animation TRANSFER of charts - Sound breakdown for Lip-synch and timing TRANSFER of animation charts into computer for timing |
|
| 2nd Week | SCANNING
& PROCESSING of line drawings into computer for preliminary
combination with Live Action ANIMATIC - Static Drawings combined with Sound track to simulate idea of TVC |
|
| 3rd Week | 3D
ANIMATION IN PROGRESS animators choreograph
the motion in each scene by defining key frames
or poses. COMPUTER RENDERING in wireframe combined with Sound track to simulate idea of TVC (similar to LINE TEST in 2D Animation) |
|
| 4th Week | SHADING
- surface characteristics,
including textures, finishes and colors, are added to every object in the
scene. These can simulate a wide variety of appearances, including wood,
metal, fabric, glass, etc. LIGHTING - using "digital lights," every scene is lit in much the same manner as stage lighting. |
