Animation/Post Production

 Animation/Post Production ♡

offline editing

  • the stage where your raw footage is run through a program that transcodes it to have a lower resolution. You can then use that lower resolution footage to edit your film. Think of it as the story telling stage. The editor focuses on the timing of the cuts, the pacing of the story, and communicating emotions
online editing
  • the finishing stage, where you'll reconnect those low-resolution files to the original, full quality footage. Also where colour correction, effects work, final titles, and audio are brought into the film. It is at the ens of the online stage that you export the completed film
log sheet
  • before creating the animation, you should create a log sheet
  • the log sheet is used to identify time codes with descriptions of all shots
  • appropriate footage can then be selected form the log sheet for the animation
Cuts and transitions

Transitions
  • once the offline edit is complete, and made correction notes, you'll need to produce the final edit
  • one of the first considerations is cuts (and length thereof) and transitions. Think about what the transitions mean and what effect is trying to be conveyed
9 essential cuts
  1. Cut/Invisible cut
  2. The J-cut - Scene leads in with audio - Change locations
  3. The L-cut - Cut the action and keep the audio - Flip of the J-cut
  4. Cutting on action
  5. Jump Cut
  6. Cross Cutting
  7. Cutaway
  8. Montage
  9. Match cut
colour control
what kind of colour palette or colour scheme will be used in the animation? you can apply filters in post production to generate meaning
colours create meaning and connotations

titles and graphics
graphics and title cards can help you to generate the appropriate mode of address for your audience

audio effects
  • Production sound- recording live dialogue and sound on set​
  • Foley work- re-creating everyday sound effects​
  • Sound design- the practice of creating different sounds​
  • Sound mixing- mixing/ bringing together different sounds and audio​
  • Noise print- technique to reduce sound​
  • Wild track- recording audio separately from film footage (laughter, screams)​
