EQUIPMENT
To produce an animation, you will need the following:
Most two-dimensional animation techniques require a light
box and a method of registration. Traditional two-dimensional
work involves drawing action frame-by-frame. Once the first
frame of an action is drawn, it can then be used as a reference
for several subsequent frames. This is aided by the use of
a light box, which enhances the previous drawing in much the
same way as using a window aids tracing something.
A light box is not essential, as the use of thin paper will
enable you to see through to the previous frame. A method
of registration, however is a must. There are a few options
for this, including the use of masking tape. The best method,
however is the use of a peg bar. These are very cheap (they
are available from our online shop)
and hold paper steady for both production drawings and subsequent
shooting. The down side of this method is that you will either
have to buy a very expensive hole punch or purchase pre-punched
animation paper.
