The creation of a 2D animation involves a series of stages and processes that transform an idea into a captivating visual experience. Let’s explore the various steps involved in the production of an animated series like “Cozy Hut” available for streaming on the PG Kids platform, brought to life by PG Studios:

The production pipeline is divided into three parts: pre-production, production, and post-production:

Pre-production:  a project is in its early stages and the team working on story and character development, writing scripts, recording dialogue, storyboarding, background layout, and character animation.

Production stage:  animators breathe life into their characters and objects by giving them movement. The figures are then colored and processed (“digital ink and paint”) and composited over their appropriate backgrounds.

Post-production: this is the final stage of adding sound and editing to ensure the project looks sharp and flows seamlessly, and then it is exported in the final format.

 

Concept and Pre-production:

 

While most of the work is done on the computer, we firmly believe in the importance of traditional hand-drawn skills and techniques as the foundation of our workflow.

  • Idea Generation: Develop a clear understanding of the project requirements, objectives, and target audience.
  • Brainstorm concepts and define the artistic direction.
  • Character and Environment Design: Design and create characters, props, and environments that align with the concept and style of the animation.
  • Storyboarding: Create a visual narrative by sketching out key scenes and sequences, establishing the overall flow of the animation.
  • Scripting: Develop a script or dialogue to guide the storytelling and character interactions.
  • Animatic: Created by playing a series of images in order and changing the timing on each frame. Timing changes are used to create a sense of place. and essence, (it’s an animated storyboard).
