>>794516its a small scale studio
we have 2 senior Animators who are the owners of the company and supervise the work
under them we have a handful of junior artists who work under supervision
there's also a few freelancers that we have experience working with who we call in if we're swamped with a heavy workload
and then theres me the only intern and youngest member
I'm still being trained in the basics mostly general figure drawing and camera language
Its less direcct animation and more of camera-director work
we do mostly animatics like this
https://youtu.be/JYWIIE6p4yY (this is just fan-made work but a good example of what animatics are)
all greyscale with only keyframes drawn in and slight tweening
to give a rough feel for how the animation should look like
we get a script and briefing from the show director
then the seniors get to work drawing up a rough panel-by-panel story board thumbnails w/ framing in mind
then the junior artist use those thumbnails as a guide to create slightly more polished animatics with the provided dialogue sound files into a cohesive product
these go through a round of internal correction from the seniors then get sent for a round of corrections from the client side (thes corrections
after all that we arrive at a final clean animatic which is then sent to the production houses who then use it to assemble a finished product (drawing up back ground for unique shots/animating the character rigs/adding sfx and complete sound design)
Its a long production line and we sit at the very begining making the backbone of the product
best part about being a story-board/animatic artist is you always are in demand in the industry
be it adverts or short episodes, be it in 2-d, 3-d, or mixed media
every form of animated production requires an animatic to be made first and fore-most
