Write down all the things you understand just to remember them, plan the whole story or the script on which you have to work in detail so that everything is crystal clear.

2. Know you characters:

After understanding the whole story now it’s time to move on your character. Character is the power station of your animation. It is the main essence which is going to enhance and improvise your whole animation. Without proper animated characters you are never going to succeed in you animation. So for boosting up you animation you have to create a best animated character. For that you have to make sure that you have sketched your character perfectly.

Draw your character from every single angle. Don’t go with the first sketch. Sketch your character several time just to make sure that your character is going to fit in the story or not! Sketch your character in every motion whether, it is at rest, moving or happy draw it before you animate it. Sketch every detail of your character to see the different aspect of your animation through it that how much detailing you have to do on your animated character.

And if there are any objects which are inanimate like cars, tress, house etc. draw them as well, believe me later you are going to bless me for this because these small details matters a lot!

You have to create a story board in which you have to form a story board detailing scene action, effects, camera action, and the colors. You have to turn your story words in to character most specifically in a proper scene. If you create visual instruction for your own self, they will literally going to help you to form the frame work which will guide you throughout the animation process.

Setting out you timing goals for your animation is pretty much important. This will help you to map out whole animation app with proper timing goal. Not just your timing but the animation timing needs to be map out properly. You won’t really like the idea if your character is not moving with the synchronization you have planned it for. Time mapping needs to be fixed in your routine and animation as well.
