Traditional Animation Process
|
Storyboards are created. The preliminary soundtrack is recorded. Key frames are drawn by lead animators. Pencil testing is performed to match key frames to the soundtrack. In-between frames are drawn to fill-in between the keyframes. Drawings are traced onto plastic cels and painted. Cels are photographed onto film.
