Hai. A question. What is pegging in an animation context?

@goudzwart

Hi! A good question! So in traditional animation, aka hand drawn on paper, you have to have away of keeping your animation paper from slipping around on you while you’re working to ensure that everything is lining up correctly. We do this using a peg bar/peg strip;

You can see this on the pretty iconic round animation light tables, like those used at Disney. There will usually be peg strips along the top and bottom, as sometimes animators like to flip up rather than down. 

(P sure this is Tom Bancroft)

My high brow “pegging” joke comes from when you sometimes have to actually add the peg holes onto paper so that they can be used on the peg bar by animators. For example, a project I was on had a lot of freelance animators doing their work digitally for the rough animation, but then it needed to be printed out to be cleaned up traditionally on paper. So all those frames of animation had to be printed out and then a strip of paper that has the correctly sized/spaced peg holes is attached to that printed animation frame. 

Hope that wasn’t too wordy of an answer!

Make your own peg bar

Peg bar is an essential tool in the 2d hand drawn animation production. It holds your frames and align them  for the animator to trace the drawings, to view his progress or test the character movement by flipping the frames using the peg bar as the registration device. The peg bar could come in 3 peg or 2 peg, you will also consider the availability of the puncher as in cost too. The 3 peg bar, also called ACME bar, will provide better registration for you frames but the puncher is very expensive (usually price goes not less than $500) comparing it to an office puncher. The 2 peg bar has a good registration ( actually, I haven't found any  registration issues with my 2 peg bar yet ), the puncher can be found almost in any office supply store with a cheaper price tag.

                Here is how to do a 2 peg bar yourself, get these ready: 

Flat 30cm steel ruler.

Adjustable 2 hole puncher.

B4 size paper.

Cylinder eraser shape from HB pencil.

Scissor.

Super glue.

Transparent tape.

     Make a peg bar:

Set the puncher pegs/ holes as further apart from each other (make sure to place them properly as the way you want because these location holes will remain in place to align your frames/ papers).

Punch a plain B4 size paper, cut the paper that has the punched holes in a rectangular shape as the flat 30cm steel ruler.

Tape the punched holes rectangular paper on the ruler .

Take the pencil and remove the eraser from the top. Try to pull it out or use the scissor but remember to not damage the eraser shape.

                    Divide and cut the eraser equally into two pieces ( if it happens to be a bit different in sizes of both of them ,then fix it by rubbing the longer half on the table or trim it using the scissors , but make sure it’s not more than a 1cm to carry as much as 8-6 papers so when you remove the papers/frames it will be much easier and faster).

                    Use the super glue to stick the two pieces of the eraser to the holes on the paper that is taped on the ruler and then let it dry.

                         This is optional and not a must. Tape the whole  ruler avoiding the pegs/erasers  so  to protect your light box from scratching the glass, slide easily on the surface and its more comfortable for the hands (the edges will be covered to protect your fingers).

                     Here is the original link tutorial for the 2 peg bar except that I used pencil eraser as peg bars instead of a ball pen refill: http://www.telugucartoon.com/tutorials/2D-Animation-PegBar.php
