Scene Development -- A Brief Overview
An animation is made up of scenes – they are like the chapters of a book. Scene development begins with sketches and lots of notes. The sketches must be checked for continuance with themselves and the scenes that surround them (e.g. motion and dynamics, story flow, weather, time of day, wardrobe). They are used to determine character poses, lines of action, and the sets, props and special effects that must be developed. Pre-visualizations can be used to test the motion and timing. Finally, all the planning comes together with the set, props, cameras, lighting, special effects, characters and animation, and the scene is shot and rendered.
