The Steps

From explanation to action

1 – 2
The explanation

We will explain to the kids the concept of animation and dynamism and we will show them various typologies of cartoons, then we will switch to the detailed analysis of the history to animate.

3 – 4
Kids pass to action

We switch to the drafting of the storyboard, meaning the script of the video, and from them the kids will draw in completely freedom the sequences.

5 – 7
The drawings become digital

The drawings are digitized through a scanner and uploaded in a computer. Once isolated backgrounds, images and characters, we switch to the layout. In this step we will give images movement.
