3D animation processes in sequence are concept development, pre-production stage, animation production stage and lastly post-production stage.
Concept development stage - Determine the main idea of the animation which sets the basis and wireframe for the final piece.
Pre-production stage
Story – Creating a compelling story to let characters to develop and audience have easy understanding about the whole story. Storytelling tools have script and storyboard (Script analysis, research, thumbnails drawing, draft storyboard and final storyboard).
3D Animatic – It is an animation clip which not include detailed modelling or texturing of the characters or objects. The aim is to determine the animation movement, timing of the models animation,

Among fully 3D animation workflow, animation production will take longest time. Since there are many works involved in it, it does be the most time-consumption aspect. There are several 3D software to produce 3D animation, e.g. Cinema 4D.
MAXON C4D [MAXON Cinema 4D] Cinema 4D is one of the well-known graphic and animation creating software which is intuitive and function able. It allows artists to do transition into 3D graphics and animation with more ordinary graphics technology. Artists can create objects that whatever come through their mind and convert into graphic or animation that they want in an instant. Moreover, there is no limit for artists to show off imagination and any design modelling or animation creation by using Cinema 4D. There are always opportunities for artists to challenge not their own skills but also the creativity. C4D can be useful in a wide range, due to the powerful graphic technology which means anything imaginable will be

Each frame equalize to an image. In produce animation stage, it consists o a series of images flashing one at a time. The number of images flashed in each second identify the smoothness of the animation movement and that is so-called frame per second [fps]. The timeline is used to key in or adjust all frames that have recorded. Sometimes, it might not be enough to create the good visual quality by just animating the character, therefore, there are demands for camera animation. There are mainly four types of camera objects in Cinema 4D which are: Free Camera, Target Camera, Stereo Camera and Motion Camera. Target Camera needs to set one target object and the camera will keep track on the object all the time. Cameras are also needed to set key frame at the timeline by key in proper coordinates. There is also another way to animate the movement of camera which is creating one spline shape and let the camera ‘Align to Spline’. Thus, the camera will moves along the specific path that scenes
Video coding is used for different applications with the standards, they support video conferencing, multimedia distribution, interactive video, etc,. Video coding are broadly classified into four such as, o Lossless Compression o Lossy Compression o Transform Coding o Motion Coding Video file involves with several frames based on the length of the video are movie that is considered. Videos involve with a significant parameter that is frame rate, which is measured in terms of frames per second in short as ‘fps’. Frame rate is defined by both the speed of recording and also the speed of the video playback. A video with frames are also classified into their corresponding types.
It helps the viewer focus on the plot and what’s going on in the movie, rather than worrying about the poor cinematographics. This is especially important to making a quality movie. The well taken camera angles are a huge help, as they are always being focused on the important aspects of each scenes, rather than being messy and focusing on unnecessary unimportant props and such. The panning of the camera isn’t sloppy or distracting, which becomes a problem in poorly made movies.
This studio has similar equipment and technologies as the studio that created astonishing visual effects in shows and films, like The
Camera movement and angles are what captivate the audience to keep their attention throughout the entirety of the whole film. Sometimes a simple camera movement can make all the difference in the
Requirements Gathering – 4 weeks This is the investigative stage of the project. which involved conception, initiation and analysis of the problem. Design phase – 3 weeks This stage involves translating the requirements from the previous stage into detailed designs that address them.
Similarly, the cinematography of Casablanca also strives to shape the viewer’s attention to the time and space of the story. The film employs a handheld movement of the camera in certain instances, to display the mise-en-scene in a genuine manner that emphasizes the setting and time of the movie. For example, evaluate the scene in the film when the camera sought to illustrate the workings of Rick’s establishment. The handheld movement of the camera explores the club in a manner that brings the viewer’s attention to the viewpoint camera. The point of view of the camera, at this point of the movie, demonstrating a human experience of observation, and fixates on investigating war uniforms of characters and their actions.
It uses cinematography and film techniques such as misé en-scene, shot duration,
More importantly, the conceptual montage is what reveals the key things to highlight about the story even though the shots are not continually edited to make up a story. Each shot is taken from random times and at random places. This helps in knowing the theme of uncertainty, just like a person not living a civilized and lawful life will experience not having a life with purpose or sense of direction. It can be seen through how the shots are taken because it brings the viewer’s eye to different directions. And just like the characters themselves, they are uncertain of what their actions may lead them

Animation refers to the creation of the sequence of images drawn, painted, or produced by other artistic methods that change over time portray the illusion of motion. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation has 2D and 3D, for 2 dimensional figures are created or edited on the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D vector graphics. This includes automated computerized versions of traditional animation techniques, for 3 dimensional is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. The animator usually starts by creating a 3D polygon mesh to manipulate.
This is used during the battle, fight and chase scenes during Avatar allowing the audience to become part of the action during the film. Tracking shots
The cinematic language that we hear in modern day movies would not be as it is today if we hadn 't had synchronous sound recordings from the beginning of film. Cinematic Language is the systematic method by which movies communicate with the viewer. Some examples of cinematic language are, Mise-en-scène, camera angles, the use of long takes, & depth of field. Barthes theory of Expressionism, the use of lighting techniques, montage and elaborate props push to make The Wizard of Oz appear to be a spectacle of realism.
A Compositing Artist is responsible for helping to create the final completed animation by detecting errors, and also creating compositing strategies like paint fixes and rotoscoping, so as to give an overall balanced look for the animation. Compositing software such as Adobe After Effects, Motion 5, Nuke, Flame 3D VFX, etc. may be
Sitting in comfy pajamas with a cup of coffee in hand, the smell of bacon wafting through the family room, the kids sitting on the couch laughing at Saturday morning cartoons. It is a picturesque start to a relaxing weekend. The only problem is you don’t want to admit to enjoying Gravity Falls on Cartoon Network. Animation has been mainly targeted towards children for decades. However, a shift in the content and audience of children’s media is in progress today.
