3D Animation

The process of making a 3D animation is similar but requires a few more steps than 2D animation. While 2D animation is created by drawing and colouring frame by frame and being put together to form a moving picture, 3D animation has additional steps and feature like lighting and shadow to really make the images pop out and stand out, making them more realistic looking. There has been high demand for more 3D animated content and forms of media, especially in films, advertisements and video games.

The first step to starting an animation project is determining the foundation of the project. It will be a basis of the final item. Deciding on the length of the film is important as even small changes to it, like adding or removing up to a few minutes

With all the scenes rendered, they are stitched together with softwares like Adobe Premiere Pro. Normally, animators have a few extra or alternate scenes and footage to choose from. It is good to prepare a few different scenes to see which is works best for the final film. The film will also need to have sound in it, or else it would be a waste of a good animation. Therefore all sound effects and dialogue must be added. Original sound effects and audio can be recorded at a studio by a sound production team. The sound also needs to have the right mixing and balance. The sound effects layers need to be combined properly, by having proper timing and panning. Having high definition sound is the best way to bring out the most in the film, without making the film distracting or confusing. An important aspect of a film to bring out certain tones and emotion of a scene, is it’s music or soundtrack. Music makes all the difference, and it should accompany the scene in telling a story. The soundtrack can be originally composed and recorded for the specific film, or the rights to existing soundtracks can be purchase and used too. After all the work that is put into the film, the film team deserves their individual credit for their time and effort. The credits at the end of the film should be visible to the audience for the people who worked on this film to be recognised. After

Modelling, which is creating the 3D models and objects needed in the film. Layout and animation, which is deciding how the objects and models are positioned and animated in a scene. Lastly, Rendering, which is the final output of the completed film. With these phases, as well as other things like planning, writing, pre-production and post-production, it completes the process of making a 3D
