Create your own cartoon sequence?
Hello! I'm asking for my 4-year-old cousin. She's a huge My Little Pony fan, and she really wants to make her own My Little Pony episode. And she made me ask how. So, how do you make a My Little Pony episode? Please, please answer, then she'll stop bugging me.
Thanks in advance😸🩷
There are two ways in the animation you see in the cinema or television,
– the modern consists of total computer animation (complex and expensive, but often photorealistic, think of the “dragonists” or “toystory” films),
– the old one consists essentially of manual work, the backgrounds of each individual image in the film were only painted by hand, and then the figures which are intended to move on painted on transparent films (so-called Cels), were changed slightly again and again as in a thumb cinema, because the normal running speed of a non-digital film is usually 24 images per second. And then you photographed it with the film camera and put a new Cel on the background for every new shot.
Simple cartoons like the pony series are made in the second way to this day, only sequences that often repeat themselves or special light effects (glanz and water effects, reflections of sunsets etc.) are animated in the computer for the sake of simplicity and then inserted into the film, because today everything is usually digitally filmed, where mixing is easy.
Supplement: Today you can also help with the “old” animation with computers, e.g. the backgrounds don’t paint by hand anymore, but let them create by computer or use scanned photos of real places, that might be a gag if the planned pony film would play in your real environment. To do this, you have to photograph suitable places at a suitable angle and with the correct lighting (e.g. morning or evening mood, indirect light at noon with light clouding etc.) and then scan these images and use them as a background for the characters placed on them.
Story superior, design characters, animate on the PC, put voices and sounds behind it, if necessary cut/edit.
But I don’t think it’s right to license if the fun is accessible or shown somewhere.
With which. Program aniemire?
There are different. What by Adobe or Autodesk, Pencil2D, etc.
Don’t tell her this is so easy. You need a lot of technology you don’t have.
The technology is available today, already on a tablet with good graphics program you can do a lot, but there is a lot of work in it. It’ll be a pure heart affair if you do something like that. But if you’re a good practice thing, who’s already working in animation in young years, you can later hire Disney or another film group.
