Process of Animation

First there is three different parts of the production. pre production, production, and post production. first there are people who draw the story board and the different camera angles and setting then it is sent to layouts, which is where customs are made, then model sheets are created where the character is mostly designed with different poses and facial expressions. then there are animatics which are previsualizations of more complex vfx scenes. then the production starts this is where the layout of the actual scenes starts to be modeled and where the director approves of shots, then there is modeling which is 3d modeling the main characters and then this is followed by texturing which is what gives the model color and characteristics. after this there is lighting which works on where there should be light on a scene and where there shouldn't, after this process is done the rigging starts which is adding bones to the mesh so that it is able to move properly. Then the Animation process starts and this is where effects are added to the animation. Post production starts right after this, this is when tasks that have to be done after the film is done are made, compositing starts in this stage it is when the animation is rendered and it is shown how they want it to render, after all this is done the animation part of the film is over, the sound effects start which is what gives the film sounds to make it more appealing, and then there is video editing which is where shots are edited and composed

I personally think i would like to work between modeling a character or adding vfx and making sure the characters performance is fine  the animation process seems very entertaining to me this is also where stop motion is fixed so i think of it like finishing the main modeling process.
