Task One: Job roles in the Animation Industry -
Animation Director or Supervisor -
The Animation Directors are responsible for the quality of the animation, for keeping it on brief and for delivering constant performances, by assigning or casting the correct Animators for the job. The job of Animation Director may only exist on larger projects and can often be combined with the role of director for smaller productions.
They also receive and interpret the brief form the director and other relevant departments. They then guide, supervise and review the work that has been produced by the Animators and Assistant Animators.
2D Animation (computer) -
Animators do everything relating to their scenes, including plotting the camera movements, editing the soundtrack (if needed), placing information on dope sheets and producing a composited version of their work for comments from the Director or Animation Director.
In toll, the role of a 2D animator is the same as another kind of animator, beside the fact of 2D animators using different tools to create their animation. Most 2D animators in the UK tend to use either Flash or CelAction, the animation process can differ from either programmes.
A 2D animator whom of which draws all of the frames, are often given a brief form the director, Animation director or Key Animator, and use established, designs, models and layouts, so when it come to the animation being created the movement will appear on screen. The animators create a series of static drawings, for when it is placed into a sequence it will give the illusion of movement.
So in principle, the jobs role of the Animator is the same for all animation techniques. the only difference being is that of the tools used and in some of the skills that are required.
Computer Animators produce images, when recorded in sequence and projected create the illusion of movement. In charter animation, they maybe cast like actors, for their special talents, this can vary from comedy to horror, people to animals and song and dance to slow motion. On other projects they maybe selected for their particular technical skills and abilities.
Depending on the project, Computer Animators follow a brief form the Director, Animation Director or Lead Animator. They refer to established designs, layouts, models and existing characteristics when creating movement which will appear on screen.
With this job, I would personally say that patience and detail plays a key part in this field of work. this is because for this line of work you will need to animate puppets or models frame by frame to create a performance and provide the action that has been outlined in the story boards that have been provided by the head animator or director. With this job there is also another job which is quite similar: assistant Stop Motion Animator. Their job is to help the animators with the work that they are doing.
A CG Modeller is someone who models all the 3D models that will be needed of the CGI Project. Example, avatar, this film was basically made all from CGI and clearly someone had to model everything in it, so this is what this job looks at and does.
These are the people that construct the final image by combining layers of previously-created material, including rendered computer animation, special effects, graphics, 2D animation, live action and static background plates.
Digital Painters are the ones who add colour to the images that have been created by the Animators.
Editing Assistant Animation -
They support the Editor/ Editors and editing department, including logging the audio and visual material received, loading it into the computer and keeping detailed records.
Head of Model Making are responsible for the creative running and overall management of the model making department. Along with working closely with the Director and Production Designer to translate their vision into models or puppets that will work for the project.
