12. Scenes
• Scene numbering is different in animation than it
is in live action.
• In live action, once you are in a location you can
turn the camera layer or frame in any direction.
• Computer-generated animation (CG) breaks
down scenes as in live action.

17. File Organization – Layout
• BACKGROUNDS
Scan your rough layouts and paint the
background in your computer.
• ORGANIZATION
Number your animation drawings according to
the frame number . The more information you
can track during production, the easier it is to
make adjustments.

36. Audio Recording and
Editing
G. Udhaya Sankar , NSIC
Add dialogues for the lip moments
Dubbing artist
Record and compile with music
37. Music and Sound Design
• Once your studio is prepped for recording, you
can record to any device that will accept
audio.
• Cool Edit Pro, Sound Forge , Adobe Premiere.
