All of this depends on how many seconds there are in between the frames. The fewer frames there are in an animation, the faster it is. The more frames there are in an animation, the slower it is. Create small movements in between keyframes to make the animation appear smooth. Color it using shading and other styles of drawing.ĭrawing an animation is a bit harder-it requires a certain degree of perseverance to perfect it.Īnimation is based on moving frames (a series of several pictures put together, with small changes in-between). When drawing on the computer, try to simplify the final drawing by removing unneeded features. Draw the final drawing on the computer in the paint editor, or use a drawing tablet. Draw final in pen either traced or redrawn. Start with a sketch, either digital or traditional. "How's my driving?").ĭrawing is hard for some people, especially on a computer. If talking about a spaceship, consider how it could be unusual, perhaps by adding some detail that will surprise the audience, like an unexpected bumper sticker (e.g. Think about every detail, and consider whether it is possible to replace it with something which would be funnier. Repetition is another useful tool, but should not be overused because the viewer will get bored after a while.īeing absurd (within reason) and completely unexpected is extremely important to make a funny story animation. For example, an entire cartoon about a character trying to milk a cow, by giving an account of various attempts and how they failed-some people think that this makes an excellent material to build slapstick comedy or gags upon. In contrast to novels, where storylines should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, cartoons have the freedom to end a plot suddenly with a twist. Often in story animations, the storyline is less important than the little things. Think about how the character would react to various situations. The character should make mistakes, or even be the villain.Ĭreating a storyline around a character is a lot easier. Developing a character and then a storyline around the character is a good way to start. Watching animations or reading comics is another possible way. To let the creativity flow, inspiration from other sources is usually helpful. Getting the "perfect" idea could take a very long time and it might be better to choose one simple theme and stick with it.īrainstorming can be a difficult process. 
However, for the beginner, it is often more rewarding to use something easier. Most animators spend a long time thinking about the "perfect" idea, which is required to make an animation. A storyline can be in the present or the past or completely fictional.ĭrawing inspiration is often the toughest part of the project. They can be in chronological order if wanted. The first step in making a story animation is to have an idea.
