PRE-PRODUCTION

Before you can start work on a two-dimensional animation, there are certain tasks that you will need to complete. The following is a list of the most important:

Storyline/Screenplay

Sound Recording
Character Design
Dope Sheets
Storyboards

As with any animated production, the more time that you spend planning a film, the easier it will be when you start to animate. Proper planning will help minimise wasted time spent on animating scenes that you later decide to exclude from your final film.

This section of the web site introduces the basic production stages of a two-dimensionally animated film. For those interested in finding out more information about the various stages, we have included links to books which we consider to be useful.
