Animator: Job description An animator produces multiple images called frames, which when sequenced together create an illusion of movement known as animation. The images can be made up of digital or hand-drawn pictures, models or puppets. Animators tend to work in 2D animation, 3D model-making animation, stop frame or computer-generated animation. Computer-generated animation features strongly in motion pictures (to create special effects or an animated film in its own right), as well as in aspects of television, the internet and the computer games industry. The basic skill of animation still relies heavily on artistic ability, but there is an increasing need for animators to be familiar with technical computer packages. Typical work activities Producing animation involves a number of stages including generating ideas, building models and rigging lighting. Computer animation uses software known as CGI (computer-generated imagery). Tasks typically involve:

Great commercials are made with a ton of economy, discipline and smart choices. These four Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee commercials are good examples for Clarity. Let's analyze the importance STORYBOARDING a short film or commercial. I boiled story down to three "C's". This one is particularly important for a storyboard artist in the process of visualizing a script or idea because you are working within a very small box, in both the length of your film and your "production schedule". So I always suggest that short film directors look at TV commercials for inspiration as how to tell a thirty-second story clearly and effeciently. Okay, the next two "C's" are CHARACTER and CONFLICT.

Photography 101: Underexposure vs. Overexposure Photography, by definition, is the process of capturing images with light. It does not matter if you're using film or digital media; the concept is the same. Light is what makes a photograph work and a proper exposure is required to make a good photograph. Proper Photo Exposure A properly exposed photograph is one that is neither too light nor too dark. If a photo is too dark, it is underexposed. A photographer knows if the image is a proper exposure by using a light meter. Pro Tip: It is always best to correct an under- or over-exposed photograph in the camera. Underexposed Photos Underexposure in photography refers to an image where too little light was recorded. A slight underexposure can lead to a deepening of the color saturation and this may be a nice effect. Correcting an underexposed photo is very easy to do on the camera. Add more light to the scene. Overexposed Photos Exactly the opposite of underexposure, you have overexposed a photograph when too much light is recorded.

Back in the 1910's, while making "Gertie the Dinosaur", Winsor McCay used small inked crosses in the corners of his drawings to position the papers correctly. This is a tedious and rather inaccurate way. The best registration method, and the only one used professionally nowadays, is the "peg bar": As shown, there are several different types of peg bars, the "Acme" type being the most common. These peg bars all have one central, round peg and two oblong pegs on each side. A peg bar is usually made of metal, but less expensive, plastic "student" bars are also available from animation supply houses. In addition to peg bars, a paper / cel punch is also needed.
