Animatic
animaticÀÇ ¸ñÀûÀº ¹ÛÀ¸·Î °È°í ½Ã±â¸¦ Á¤Çϱ⠰è»êÇϱâ À§ÇÑ °ÍÀÌ´Ù. An animatic is a very trimmed down version of the final animation that helps block out the key points of each scene. Think of them as animated storyboards. Often the voice work is added to help plan out the scene as that¡¯s a key part of the pacing.
Here¡¯s a more detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to create an animatic:
Animatic Tutorial
Animation
The heart of the matter, and what I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve been waiting for. If nothing else, please note all the planning that goes into an animation before getting anywhere near the animation itself. Everything before this step is merely prep work for this stage, but those steps are extremely vital to the entire animation process.
Animation can of course be created any number of ways. On Calico Monkey I use Toon Boom (affiliate) to create animation, then import that into Flash. 3D work is popular, and even claymation is digitally possible these days (I¡¯ve read great things about iStopMotion for the Mac, I hope to officially give it a try someday).
There are so many new things constantly coming out in the world of animation, if you¡¯re perfectly comfortable with the program you¡¯re using, then you need to try harder. Stretch your comfort level even farther. Do something new that nobody¡¯s ever thought of before! Make something amazing that the world will love, but don¡¯t get complacent and churn out more of the same thing over and over. You have to find a way to challenge yourself every day.
Sound Effects
When collecting sound effects the best thing to do is create a complete list of all the sounds you will need, so you can check them off as you go. You can either create your own sounds, or you can find them online. While there are a few free options, I really like
SoundRangers.com. They have a very useful Flash utility that lets you preview each sound very quickly, and the prices are very reasonable, usually under $2.
Music
Music is this far down on the list because this is where I usually start thinking about it. It is a very important element though, and can lead the viewer through a wide range of emotions. This is why properly pairing it with the animation can be so strong.
You could even consider working it into your animatics. Does it set the mood properly? Does it take the user by the hand and say ¡°you should be feeling joy right now¡±?
Composite
Once all the elements have been created it¡¯s time to meld them all together into one complete animation. Toon Boom is great for this as it gives you the option of exporting to so many useful formats, including .mov which is what YouTube prefers, as well as the ability to import everything directly into Flash. The .mov is also the preferred format for animation festivals, a very important way to gain recognition.
Distribute
Now that your animation is perfect, it¡¯s time to get it out there! Go tell your family and friends, let them know what you¡¯ve been working on.
As mentioned, if it¡¯s a .mov file (and under 100 megs), consider putting your animation on YouTube. If it¡¯s a Flash based .swf file, then post it on your blog and people will spread the word for you. StumbleUpon is a great way to get visitors to your site (even though they may never return). You can also submit it to a Flash based portal site like NewGrounds. Consider starting your own newsletter at someplace like MailChimp (affiliate) so that you can keep your loyal viewers up-to-date on your animation. I¡¯m sure your mom will appreciate it too.
Here¡¯s a list of 20 ways to share your cartoon with the world.
Creating a great animation takes a good amount of time, but can be done by anybody. Do you have an animation to share? Post a link to it in the comments below so that we can all see.

How much can you make when your cartoon makes it to television?
June 1st, 2008 at 1:07 pm
@Turale, That¡¯s a good question. I have not had my cartoons make it onto TV yet, so I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have a good answer for you.

how to save a toon boom file..
In which format should I save it ¡¦
Toon boom logo is appearing in that files.How to avoid this???
October 25th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Turale: It¡¯s very dependent on a number of situations. A well known creator can command more of a deal for his creation for example. And many creators take on producer or director jobs after the series is green lit. Which keeps them working for a couple of years at a very decent salary
b.berry: If your using the educational (free) version of TBS then you can¡¯t get rid of the watermark. If you shell out for the full version it¡¯ll be gone and more saving/output options will be available to you.
