Understand that a successful animation project requires a lot of advance planning. Creating an animation is a commitment to many hours of labor. The work can be an individual effort, but there are benefits to making it a team effort. See if you can work with others to create a winning entry.
The steps to making an animated short film:
- Brainstorm different story ideas
- Ask yourself, “Is this entertaining?”
- Does it have “a moral to the story?”
- Draw out rough sketches of characters and backgrounds. If you are doing a 3D project, do a search for pre-made models and backgrounds you can use.
- Write a script
- Make sure it has a beginning, middle and end.
- Create characters that are interesting
- Keep your story short. Three minutes or less is best.
- Storyboard
- Either sketch out each scene or use a software program like MovieStorm.
- Make sure you use Long Shots, Medium Shots and Close-Ups. Beginners often frame everything as a Long Shot.
- Record audio tracks
- Cast actors to create character voices (if needed).
- Compose or select music
- Music adds an important emotional dimension, make sure it fits and doesn’t distract.
- Create or find the right sound effects
- Sound effects include things like the sound of a ringing phone.
- Ambient noise from the environment, such as the sound of the room is very important.
- Foley is the sound made by the characters. This includes footsteps, objects being handled and the rustling of clothing.
- Mix all the audio tracks
- The audio track is typically completed first and then the animation is timed to fit it.
- Time out the action and the number of frames needed for each shot
- In video there are 30 frames a second.
- For claymation your should shoot 10 frames a second. One minute will equal 600 photos.
- Animate
- Edit
- Promote your work
- Submit it to a youth film festival.
- Upload it to YouTube.
