Drawing the story world

The animation industry tells entire screen stories in drawings. Animation is the art of storytelling with drawings or, in the case of stop-motion animation, with real-world objects.

Unlike live action production, animation is created in an office-based environment that’s often referred to as an animation studio.  While some parts of the process use hand-drawn methods (sketches, drawings),  the primary tool for creation is powerful software and hardware that support the creative process from concept through to delivery.

Think dragons and dinosaurs

VFX brings us creatures, crowds and so much more. It’s the process of enhancing live action shot footage with new images and elements that can’t be filmed in real life.

Visual effects artists work to create images and elements with specialized software and are supported by technicians and IT experts to create whatever the story calls for: massive crowd scenes, explosions, monsters and more.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Post Production” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”1fd28d07-d6ca-4310-a030-80b7a3a2b0bc” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” open=”off”]

We’ll fix it in post

Polishing the screen story is the post production process, where the story comes together after all the live action footage has been shot.

A team of specialists bring their picture and sound editing skills to shape the story. Music is added and the complex work of finishing the film or television show, and meeting technical standards for sales and distribution around the world, is met and supported by specialized technology.

How I got into the industry

“I started out studying Asian Studies and Japanese, then briefly became a make-up artist before an opportunity as a production assistant at an animation studio arose. That turned out to be a great fit for me, and what was initially a Summer job led to a permanent role in Human Resources and 16 years in recruitment and talent development in animation and video games. I reached a point where I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and take on the broader challenge of a studio operational, leadership role. That’s what got me to where I am now, General Manager of Cinesite’s Vancouver studio.”

~ Tara Kemes, General Manager, Cinesite Vancouver
