This is often done by hand on a piece of paper. The animator needs to excellent good drawing skills to visually explain the concept of the animation to a customer or design team. In some cases, the animator must also be able to create a storyline or assist the client in the storyline development.
If you donât already have some animation software you can download a free trial of Aardmanâs Animate It! software. Youâll also need a desk lamp, some colouring pencils, felt tips, crayons, masking tape, Blu Tack and LOTS of A4 paper. Animation is actually very simple. When you animate clay characters or figures, you take a picture of something (or rather âyou capture a frameâ), then move your character and capture another frame. You repeat this process until your sequence is complete. With hand-drawn animation the process is slightly different. You draw something and capture a frame then you change the drawing slightly and capture another frame. Itâs easiest to draw on a flat surface so put your first sheet of paper on the table and fix with a tiny bit of Blu Tack.
