CEL ANIMATION

When someone says the word "cartoon," what we see in our head is usually cel animation.
Cartoons today rarely use the pure cel animation of the past, instead employing computers
and digital technology to help streamline the process.

A cel is a sheet of transparent cellulose acetate used as a medium for painting animation
frames. It is transparent so that it can be laid over other cels and/or a painted background,
then photographed.
Cel animation is incredibly time consuming and requires incredible organization and attention
to detail.
After the idea pops up, a storyboard is created to visually communicate the story to the
production team. Then an animatic is created, to see how the film's timing works. Once the
story and timing is approved, the artists go to work creating backgrounds and characters that
fit "the look" they're going for. At this time, the actors record their lines and animators use the
vocal track to synchronize lip movements of the characters.

Drawing and Painting the Cels

This part of the animation process is the most time-consuming and tedious.
The lead animator makes rough sketches of the key frames (extremes of an action) in a scene.
The assistant animator takes those roughs and cleans up the linework, possibly creating some of
the in-between drawings. These sheets are passed on to the in-betweener, who draws the rest of
the action on separate sheets in order to complete the action established by the animator's key
frames. The in-betweener uses the dope sheet to determine how many drawings are needed.
Once the drawings are finished, a pencil test is done to check all that all the movements flow and
nothing is missing. A pencil test is essentially a crude animation of the rough drawings.
After the pencil test is approved, a cleanup artist traces the roughs to ensure that the linework is
consistent from frame to frame. The cleanup artist's work is then passed on to the inker, who
transfers the cleaned-up drawings onto cels before they are given to the paint department to color.
If the images are scanned to be used by computers, a lot of the cleanup, inking and painting is
done by one person.
Backgrounds of scenes are painted by special background artists. Because the background is
seen for longer periods of time, and cover more area than any other single item of animation, they
are created with lots of detail and attention to shading, lighting and perspective. The background
cels are placed behind the painted action cels in the photographing process (see below).
Lacquer is a type of solvent-based product that is made by dissolving nitrocellulose together
with plasticizers and pigments in a mixture of volatile solvents. Lacquer also contains a solution of
shellac in alcohol that creates a synthetic coating, causing it to form a high gloss surface.
