Making An Animated Film


Walt Disney, Windsor McCay, Osamu Tezuka, Tim Burton, Mike Judge, Peter Chung, Genndy Tartakovsky, Jhonen Vasquez, Savin Yeatman-Eiffel. All these filmmakers and more got into animation the same way, and this is one of the best ways to break into animation.

PRODUCE YOUR OWN SHORT FILM OR FILMS

You can go to art school, or base your knowledge on art lessons you had at a young age. As long as you know the fundamentals of writing and drawing, and the fundamentals of the animation production process. Find 1 to 2 or more reliable collaborators, and get to work on writing, designing, boarding, animating, and filming your own short films. Save up some money if you have to.  Beg your friends and associates to help you. Do whatever you have to do to make it happen, whether it's animated by Flash or ink and paint.
And technically, that's kind of where I am. Right at the point where I've decided I want to make my own films eventually, from scratch.
