- Get into groups. Choose well.
- Your animated shorts must tell a story yet can have a simple concept. The story/characters/visuals are there to evoke emotion. Do you want your viewers to laugh, cry, feel angry, feel afraid, etc.
- Research other animated shorts:
- Who are the characters?
- What is the conflict?
- Describe the scene, mood, atmosphere, style?
- What camera perspectives are used? Why?
- Is the conflict resolved at the end? How?
- Collaborate to generate many ideas about your own animated short (sketch, talk, act out your ideas).
- Agree as a group on the best idea for your animated short.
- Sketch out a rough storyboard.
- Come up with a plan for production: Split up tasks (who works on effects, characters and the scene)
Also, if you want to animate a character with limbs or smalle moving parts, you will need to use bones.
For simple characters that have limbs, watch this:
Skin modifier
If you already have a model that needs to be rigged, watch this:
