ABSTRACT

Animation – the chores and the charms Let us face it animation is hard work, there is so much to think of, and even with all the digital tricks that a computer brings to the party, it takes time. I once added up all the different hats a student needs to wear to make a short animated film. It is quite a list:

• Starting with the Producer who has an idea … • The Writer creates the story and dialog. • Casting Agent. The 3D modeler models the characters. • Make-up and Costumes. Then chooses materials and maps them onto the

characters.
