2D Animator

Job Description

2D animator works through a three-stage process (pre-production, production, and post-production) to create a sequence. During the pre-production stage, they write the story, design characters, create a storyboard, choose a design style, and prepare the backgrounds on which the action will occur. The voice-overs are then recorded by actors based on the dialogue in the script. In the production stage, the animators pull together all the elements to start animating the scenes. This includes initially animating rough sketches, then refining them to line drawings; layering the scenes against the backgrounds; matching the character visuals to the recorded dialogue, and compositing to final render.
