MOTION COMICS

What is Motion Comic?

Motion comics are a form of digital comics that combine traditional
comics' static images with animation, sound effects, voice acting,
and music to create a multimedia experience that brings the comic
book pages to life. Essentially, motion comics are like an animated
version of a comic book, with elements of both animation and
comics.

Note: The script shared will encompass only 10 to 12 panels. Hence, the motion comics might maximum prolong up to 1.25 to 1.5 minutes.
STEP 1: Script:

The first step is to develop a script that tells

the story. The script will include dialogue,
narration, and action descriptions. It is
essential to write a compelling script that
engages the audience.
**Script with Panel Description will be
provided by Head Office.

SCRIPT SAMPLE
 STEP 2 - Panel / Shot Visualization:

Panel/Shot-wise visualization
involves creating a visual
representation of the script. The
process should include
brainstorming for all the panels
required to the script, and it should
be ideated in a way that conveys
the story visually.
 STEP 3 - Panel Creation

● After final visualization, it's time to create each panel.

● Participants can either draw each panel by hand or create them
digitally using a software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or
Sketchbook Pro.
 Step 3.1: Finalizing Art and Contours

Finalize the Line ART Draw Contour Lines

 STEP 4 - Digital Art / Painting:

Once the panels are created, the

next step is to paint them digitally.
This process involves adding colors
and textures to the characters,
props & backgrounds, making
them visually appealing.
4.1 Add Colours
