1. How Anime is Made
By Virginia Valdez

2. What is Anime? Anime is a style of Japanese television.
It is usually hand-drawn or computer-made.
Anime usually has interesting plots and characters for people of all ages to enjoy.

3. Step 1: Pre-Production~
The first step to create an anime is planning everything, from the story to the series.
You need a studio and a core staff to back you up.
Color, art, and character designers start right away, while story- boarders start their storyboards.
Some example storyboards that the director does~

Step 2: In-Production~
The layout process begins, including art production and key animation.
Key animation helps create animated drawings according to the story.
Once you have the basis of your animation, the process of fluidly combining the pictures starts.

5. Step 3: Post-production~
After they are drawn and checked, the animation is then digitized and painted with a specific color.
Compositing/Film developing starts.
Voices, sound effects, and background music are recorded, while editing starts.
After compositing is completed, the episode is timed, with added visual effects and final editing.

6. Review~ Overall, the anime process has three steps:
The planning stage, where the basis of the anime is brainstormed.
The layout stage, where everything like animation is worked on.
The production stage, where the anime is “vocalized” and filming & editing takes place.
After all that is done, the anime is aired at a specific due date.
This video represents an anime in it’s layout process and it’s final product at the end.
Thanks for watching!
