Philippine Media-Based Arts: Animation

Nowadays, we are familiar with a lot of foreign animated films

such as Frozen, Finding Nemo, and others. In the Philippines,
there are numerous animated films that were already produced
and can compete in the global arena when it comes to animated
film industry. Some of which are RPG Metanoia, Adarna: The
Mythical Bird, Urduja, and Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia.

WHAT IS ANIMATION?
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and
shape change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of
static images that minimally differ from each other. Animation
can be seen in your favorite TV commercials, music, movies or
even videos.

TECHNIQUES AND STYLE IN CREATING AN ANIMATION

1. Traditional Animation- These
involved animators drawing by hand
for each and every frame. If you love
the feel of pencils on a paper, then
the traditional approach is very
fascinating. Traditional animation is
creating the drawings one by one on
the frame. 2D animation involves
creating numerous drawings then
feeding into a plastic cell, hand
painting them and create the animated sequence on a
painted background image.

2. Digital 2D Animation- It is called

Vector Animation. It is creating
animations in the 2-dimensional space
with the help of digital technologies.
You don’t need to create digital
models; you just need to draw the
frames. Create 100s of drawing and
animating them to show some kind of
movement is technically known as digital 2d animation.
Using Adobe flash, animators can limit the number of
drawings used, which makes them easier to create digital
2d animation. Small variations like changing the color or
frame rate can be changed almost instantly, thus making
it easier for the animators to work on.

3. Digital 3D Animation- it is making the

unreal characters into a realistic one.
Digital 3d animation characters are much
faster to create and they are quite popular
in the movie making industry. Using a
computer software 3d animated images are
used to create many short films, full length
movies and even TV commercials and a
career in digital 3d animation is highly
rewarding. Comparing to 2D animation and the traditional
approach, 3d animation models are highly realistic. One
 best example for this animation is the RPG Metanoia.

4. Stop-Motion Animation- Stop

motion is done by capturing a
photo of an object, then moving
it just a little bit to take another
photo. This process is similar to
traditional animation, but it uses
real life objects instead of
drawings to create an illusion of movement. And even
though it is also time consuming and expensive, the end
results are often unique and incomparable.

5. Motion Graphics- Still

considered as a form of
animation, motion graphics is
nothing alike the other types of
animations as it is not character
or story driven. It’s simply the art
of moving graphic elements such
as texts or shapes. Common
examples include animated logos, film opening titles,
explainer videos, and app advertisements.

THE PHILIPPINE ANIMATION PRODUCTION PROCESS

For decades, Filipinos have been successful in helping major
animation studios produce compelling animated videos.
However, it’s not as simple as it sounds. For one, Filipino
animators need to pass the international standards set by these
global companies. The following are the breakdown of basic
Philippine animation process.

1. PRE-PRODUCTION-
a. Story- this is the basis of all the other elements involved in
the production
process and without it, there’s no end result. As such,
developing a script
is the first task every Filipino creator should do.
b. Storyboarding- is the process of breaking down the script
into scenes and
drawing it into panels similar to a graphic novel. It allows the
director to
envision the end look of the animation and lets him make
appropriate
creative decisions with other people involved in the production.
c. Editorial- After the storyboards are done, they are forwarded
to the
editorial team who will create an animatic based on the drawn
panels. This
animatic presents the beats of the story and is comprised of
storyboard
images, scratch dialogues, and even temporary music and sound
effects
as necessary.
d. Visual Development- It is the stage where Filipino concept
artists create
the final look of the animation. This includes the design
elements found in
characters, props, backgrounds, and color palettes. Overall, it
gives the
whole team a clear visual guide to follow during production.
e. Pre-Visualization- At this stage, animators review the script
and
storyboard to scale characters and environments in three-
dimensional
space through the computer. This also serves as a blueprint of
the final
product which allows the client to make changes before they
even start to
film.

2. PRODUCTION
a. Modelling- commonly used in 3D animation, the modeling
process
produces a digital object capable of being fully animated. It’s an
essential
stage in production as it usually involves the sculptures of
characters, sets,
and props.
b. Surfacing- this is the phase where surface artists use colors,
textures, and shades to make the various elements of an
animated film pop out. Just take the Disney film Ratatouille as an
example. Part of the reason why the ratatouille dish looks
appetizing is due to the surfacing team’s effort.
c. Rigging- it gives animated characters the ability to move
their faces and bodies per the requirements of the script.
Without it, they won’t be able to hold themselves up and move
around.
d. Layout and Set Dressing- Layout involves the
conceptualization of
environments based on the story of the animated film. Layout
artists are
tasked to design the stage where the animation of the
characters takes
place. On the other hand, set dressing is the preparation of the
appropriate props and furniture required in the scene. The set
dresser’s main job is to establish and maintain the continuity of
these items in between sequences and shots.
e. Character Animation- character animators are tasked to
bring the
characters to life by using the rig made by the rigging
department. In
addition, they also need to carefully think about the movements
and
expressions of the characters in order to effectively tell a story.
f. Crowd Simulation- the crowds department is primarily
responsible for
animating a large number of characters in the film. They work to
simulate
realistic looking actions that should not distract from the main
action.
g. Technical Directing- since an animated film revolves
around the lives of the characters, technical directing is
essential to make the scenes feel alive and believable. Technical
directors create motion or simulation that responds to the way a
character moves. For instance, when a character
sits on a couch, they let the cushions react by flattening it. This
ultimately
makes it realistic.
h. Lighting- Lighting is an important element in creating the
look and tone of a particular animated video. It guides the
viewer’s eye to where the main action is taking place.

3. POST-PRODUCTION
a. Compositing- At this phase, all the individual frames are
rendered together to create the final edited version. This is also
the time where compositors tweak the color and adjust the
depth of field accordingly to make the shot look exceptional.
b. Music and Sound Design- Music and sound design are two
elements that are added during the last stages of animation
production. If you remove parts of the scenes by a few frames,
the music score and sound effects wouldn’t play in sync with the
actions of the characters. As such, these two are typically put on
after the final edit are locked in.
c. Color Grading- Often the last stage of the production
process, color grading gives the animated videos a distinct look
based on the scene’s moods. It also provides accurate and
consistent color throughout the video.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PHILIPPINE ANIMATION

1. It presents current issues in the community- most of the
country’s animated films talk about the recurring problems,
stigma and scenarios experienced by the Filipinos. Some of the
animated films made were the “Doodle of Doom” (2007) that
shows the special abilities of children with disabilities; and “Love
and Marriage” (2008) that presents racism evolving a struggle of
a Filipino-Chinese Relationship.
2. It retells myths and native stories of the country in animation-
Filipinos love to listen stories from their forefathers that’s why
artists present these traditional stories in motion pictures. Some
of which are the Urduja, Marianing (2012), Lakas ng Lahi (2014)
and Ibong Adarna.
3. It manifests Philippine culture and tradition- animation in the
country is rooted in our culture and tradition. One of which is
Mutya (2009) that preserves heritage and the environment by
believing that nature dwells among us.
