Notes from article (summarized in YOUR OWN
WORDS):
 YOU SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS FROM
THE ARTICLE HERE. DO NOT JUST SELECT
POINTS FROM THE ABSTRACT. YOU NEED
TO READ THE ARTICLE.
 THESE POINTS MUST BE IN YOUR OWN
WORDS
 Most animators find it difficult to come up with an
idea that has a genuine potential for an original
film
 Using personal experiences can help add realism
to the animatic
 Many pieces have strong autobiographical
tendency thanks to the artist having in-depth
knowledge on the subject
 The artist can use their knowledge to create new
ways to set the aesthetic of the film
 Transferring motion styles from one animation clip
to another, while preserving the motion content,
has been a common problem in character
animation
 Creating a problem that must be solved is a great
aspect of many, if not, all narratives
 It often emerges from the dramatic conflict of
opposition or difference

 Different expression techniques can draw viewers
in and improve the uniqueness of an animation
 Viewers are becoming more curious as to how an
animation is made rather than the final product
 Using different styles together can show the
reason behind a story more clearly
 Best way to get started on an animation is to draw
with references (friends, family)
 Mimicking popular styles often seen in movies/TV
can help with the process of making original
characters
 To improve script writing for animations, it is best
to make series of drawings instead of using just
words
 Animation, animated and animator all come from
the latin verb, animare, it means “to give life to”
 Animated films are artificial creations of inanimate
sketches and forms
 “What happens between each frame is more
important than what happens on each frame”
(Solomon, 1987: 11)
 Three basican requirements for sound to exist in
the physical and animated world, a sound source
is needed that makes acoustic energy, that
energy must be transmitted through a medium,
then a receiver (microphone/ears) must pick up
the energy
 Animators and composers are very similar,
animators visualize their creations while
composers conceptualize their creations through
audiation (they have to hear to visualize)

 Voice overs can be used to capture viewers’
attention
 Scriptwriting in animation scripts are similar to
those in live-action scripts
 Writing requires more effort than the actual
animating
 Animations can be evaluated by just a glance but
scripts require more effort to understand
 “a game script” does not exist, and it does not
help the writers or the designers for both
animations and video games
