Topic:** Traditional Animation Process **II. Objectives:** At the end of the lesson, the students are able to: - Discuss the traditional animation process - Learning the Techniques - Demonstrate knowledge of elements and principles. Traditional Animation Process Traditional animation (or classical animation, cel animation, or hand-drawn animation) - is an animation technique where each frame is drawn by hand. The technique was the dominant form of animation in cinema until the advent of computer animation. 2D animation - is a complex process that takes a lot of time and effort. The main steps that it takes to make a 2D animation are as follows: Storyboard, voice recording, animatic, designing and timing, layout, Animation, etc. 10 Traditional Animation process 1\. Storyboard - A storyboard is a collection of hand drawings displayed in sequence for the purpose of previsualizing an animation sequence. Traditional animation usually begins life as a storyboard, which is a script of sorts written with images as well as words, similar to a giant comic strip. The images allow the animation team to plan the flow of the plot and the composition of the imagery. The storyboard artists will have regular meetings with the director and may have to redraw or "re-board" a sequence many times before it meets final approval. 2\. Voice Recording - Before true animation begins, the sounds and speech are recorded for use in the animated film. This step is sometimes done after animation with the voice actors as a guide to synchronize speech with the animation. 3\. Animatic - Often, an animatic or story reel is made after the soundtrack is created, but before full animation begins. An animatic is a videotaped version of the storyboard. When the initial voice recording is done, the storyboard is matched with the recorded voices. 4\. Design - This is the phase where character designers prepare model sheets for all important characters and props in the film. These model sheets will show how a character or object looks from a variety of angles with a variety of poses and expressions so that all artists working on the project can deliver consistent work. 5\. Layout - The layout begins after the designs are completed and approved by the director. The layout process is the same as the blocking out of shots by a cinematographer on a live-action film. It is here that the background layout artists determine the camera angles, camera paths, lighting, and shading of the scene. 6\. Animation - This is the phase where animators will begin by drawing sequences of animation on sheets of transparent paper perforated to fit the peg bars in their desks, often using colored pencils, one picture or "frame" at a time. 7\. Pencil Test - After all the drawings are cleaned up, they are then photographed on an animation camera, usually on black and white film stock. Nowadays, pencil tests can be made using a video camera and computer software. 8\. Backgrounds - This is the process of creating a set design that will be used for a specific scene in the animated film. The designers create an environment where the characters and other objects can move. 9\. Filming - The images created in the animation and backgrounds are traditionally painted on clear thin plastic sheets made of acetate. The layers of cells with the image inked and painted on them are arranged under a camera and are photographed using a rostrum camera to create a composite image. These shots are all arranged in sequence, thus creating an animated film. 10\. Post-Production - This is the phase where polishing takes place. Depending on the method of distribution the audio or voice recordings could be mastered or engineered with the film to create the full animated film. **III. Application** Direction: Answer the following question.
