Preproduction and design for animation

Abstract

The main production of an animation work is a task done by the cooperation and work of different people with a large artistic talent. This Final Degree Project is divided in two main chapters, both focused in the character development process. Here I develop some of the characters that were previously sketched and vectorized, and I prepare them for a future animation. But letting your imagination flow is another important aspect of the creative process involved in the character creation, and that¿s what I pretend on the second chapter of this work, the sketch work. Finally, I should clarify that the creative process of character creation may not occur without a context, that¿s being said, the universe in wich the characters are moving. Each character is created by an imaginary situation that it¿s given in this universe. That is why I need to start this work with a narrative section called ¿The World of Typhares¿ where the developed universe has gestated most of the characters presented in this Project.
