Working with the writer, the character designer creates a character "identity portrait." Once the script is approved, the environment designer begins laying out floorplans, material sheets and elevations. Once the characters and environments are approved, the project passes to the storyboard artist. Working with the approved character and environment designs, the modelers begin building the sets and stars in 3D. Guided by the storyboards, the character designer creates expression sheets for the animators and modelers. Using the storyboards and scratch-track audio, Cazin and Salladay begin to block out each shot. They work with the support of the riggers, who must design skeletal/muscle systems and embed them into each character model as required by each character's range of motion. As the animation begins to gel, the lighting director and the compositor step in. Together, they define the atmosphere and optical quality of each shot. Finally, the work of Cazin and Salladay comes together.

Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Stick figures earliest roots are in prehistoric art. - WIKI A stick figure is a very simple drawing of a person or animal, composed of a few lines, curves, and dots. This is a cost effective way to create animation. Depending on the animator, the work can range from simple stick figures to complex line animation. Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century. Unfortunately, to our way of thinking traditional cel animation process became obsolete by the beginning of the 21st century. Today, animators' drawings and the backgrounds are either scanned into or drawn directly into a computer system. Various software programs are used to color the drawings and simulate camera movement and effects. The final animated piece is output to one of several delivery media, The "look" of traditional cel animation is still preserved, and the character animators' work has remained essentially the same over the past 70 years. Some animation producers have used the term. Please enjoy the range and diversity of work from our directors.
