7 Steps to Follow While Creating Animation Videos!

As the Monomotion Studio family, we have the opportunity to communicate with countless people in many jobs. On one of our shooting days, we had a productive conversation about the videos with the brand owner we worked with. The main topic of this conversation was the production processes and difficulties of animation videos. After this conversation, we decided to prepare articles about animation videos. In this article, we share with you information about the steps and how animation videos are prepared.

First, let's briefly talk about what animation is. Animation is an art form in which moving images are created by combining them. Creating animated videos is a great way to tell stories using your imagination.

Basic steps to create animated videos:

1. Concept and Scenario

The concept and scenario that form the basis of the animation are important for the success of the project. It should create a story to convey a specific message or entertain the audience. Creating a basic framework by determining the characters and the plot is important for integrity. Creating integrity is also very important for the effective transmission of the message you want to convey.

2. Character Design

If there will be characters in your animation, it is important to design them impressively. The appearance of the characters, their personalities and their role in the animation enable the audience to connect. Characters are brought to life using detailed designs and color palettes.

3. Creating a Storyboard

A storyboard is like a series of drawings or a graphic novel that shows the scene plan of your animation. Specify each scene and a visual story is created, including characters' movements, dialogue and important details.

4. Sound Design

Sound can enhance the atmosphere and emotional impact of animation. The animation is brought to life by using dialogues, music and sound effects effectively. Quality sound design allows the audience to have a deeper experience.

5.Using Animation Software

Animation software is the key to bringing characters and scenes to life. Animation software such as Adobe After Effects, Blender, Toon Boom Harmony can be used. Since these software are quite complex, learning them requires time and effort. For a successful animation job, choosing the motion designer to work with should be made carefully.

6. Animation Production

After the storyboard and sound design are made, animation begins to be created. Carefully adjusting the movements of characters and the transitions of scenes is important to produce a good job. It is necessary to constantly check the animation by previewing it at each stage and make adjustments if necessary.

7. Rendering and Editing

Once the animation is completed, rendering is done to create the final product. Then, the animation is finalized by making color corrections, effects and other adjustments when necessary.
