How we make animations

Published: September 17th 2023, 2:51:50 pm

This kind of stuff I don't share often and I feel like I should because it's really interesting to see a project come together.

Step 1: Choose a pose. We choose a pose for the animation and sketch it out, usually poorly.

Step 2: Refine the sketch

Step 3: Render the sketch into final pixel art.

Step 4: Add the background

Step 5: Animation

The animation process involves chopping up the characters into smaller pieces so that they are easier to deal with. We first use spheres to show the animation easing, action and reaction. We build upon that base one piece at a time until the final animation is completed.
