audio production for animation
Animation
AKA: Animated, Animator
The process of creating the illusion of motion by creating individual
frames, as opposed to filming naturally-occuring action at a regular
frame rate. See also computer generated animation, claymation, time
lapse. Contrast with motion capture, rotoscoping.
All of the audio components in full motion picture are even more critical when supporting animation:
- Dialogue Production
- Sound Effects
- Musical Score
Animation Examples:
- Traditional 2D Animation - Bugs Bunny
- Computer Graphic 3D Animation - Wall-E.
- Claymation - Chicken Run
- Foriegn Language Anime - Transformers
- Puppet Production - Thunderbirds
