Animation Production Process
Animation is defined as “moving objects withinteresting graphics and story line” (Adams, 2010, p. 5).Producing an animation is a very complicated and dauntingprocess. It requires a lot of resources and highly-skilledanimators especially when state-of-the-art graphicsimulations are needed.

The focus should be
on the PROCESS
(HOW), not just
telling your readers
what it is.
Before an animation is produced, it has to go through
the pre-production stage. Firstly, the animators gather and
discuss the concept or idea for the animation (Upin, 2012).
According to Upin (2012), this process normally takes about
three months to be completed. Ipin (2009) claims that during
this process, the producer would verify what has been
discussed and allow the animators to generate more ideas.
Once the idea has been decided, the team proceeds to
the research stage. In this stage, all necessary information
about the animation is collected and analysed (Valerie,
2009). Next…

References Provide the Reference list.
Use “References” as the title of the list and NOT Bibliography of
Works Cited. Please follow APA Referencing format.
Appendix Include the diagram for the process (can be taken from
books/resources but must provide the source, or you can draw it
out on your own). Put some details to the diagram, not just the
big heading. In your essay, ensure the diagram is referred to
