Working the Frames
We have finally come to one of the last stages in the filmmaking process:
editing. We discovered that, in animation, much of this editing is done early on
in the preproduction process. The animatic, which is the moving timeline of
the storyboard, should be the guide for the final edit in any animated film. We
claimed that animation is so labor-intensive that overshooting scenes is not an
option. So, unlike live-action filmmaking, animation has done a good bit of the
postproduction decision making before the last process begins. Yet, many fine
details need attention at the editing stage, and this is what we will address.
