Animated movies are fun to watch. Nothing is real. Some are made from drawings. Some are made on a computer. Some are made using dolls. Some are made using clay. All are awesome.
These are animators. They work on animated movies. They draw the movie. They use paper or a computer to draw.
This is a sketch. The animators sketch the story. They sketch different ideas. They sketch different styles. They talk about it and decide on the final version. Then they make the final drawings.
Sometimes they use models to help them draw. They move the model and sketch what they see. It helps them draw the movements.
Animated movies are time-consuming. It takes a lot of time to make this kind of movie.
How do we make an animated movie? Before, we used drawings. Animators drew thousands of pictures. They put them in sequence. They filmed it. The pictures looked like they were moving.
Now, we use computers. An animator draws on a computer. They use a special drawing computer. They draw on the screen. Some use a drawing pad. They attach the pad to a computer. They draw on the pad and look at their computer. It feels like you are drawing with a pencil. The animators use the computer to make the pictures move. It is an amazing process.
Some animated movies use stop motion. They use clay pieces or dolls to make a movie. They make the pieces. They make a scene, and take a photo. They move the pieces a tiny amount. They take another photo. They repeat this many times. They put the photos in sequence. It looks like the clay pieces are moving. You need to take 600 photos for one minute of this kind of movie. That is a lot of photos.
Animated movies also need actors. Voice actors use their voices for animated movies. They match their words to the scene. They have strong and interesting voices. They can play more than one character.
Animated movies are fun for everyone. Do you have a favourite animated movie?
