Design in Animation

Design comes before animation, meaning that everything that is used in your animation including storyboard, props, etc should be sorted out through traditional means.
'Each design detail needs to be laid out and problem solved before animation is produced'
- Paula Rajos.
When producing a film, Pixar spends around two years creating the storyboards before any animation is produced. Even the voices are recorded before any animation is done.
