Animators can work in a variety of fields including film, television, and video games. Animation is closely related to <a href="/wiki/Filmmaking" title="Filmmaking">filmmaking</a> and like filmmaking is extremely labor-intensive, which means that most significant works require the collaboration of several animators. The methods of creating the images or frames for an animation piece depend on the animators' artistic styles and their field. </p><p>Other artists who contribute to <a href="/wiki/Animated_cartoon" class="mw-redirect" title="Animated cartoon">animated cartoons</a>, but who are not animators, include <a href="/wiki/Page_layout" title="Page layout">layout</a> artists (who design the backgrounds, lighting, and camera angles), <a href="/wiki/Storyboard_artist" title="Storyboard artist">storyboard artists</a> (who draw panels of the action from the script), and <a href="/wiki/Background_artist" title="Background artist">background artists</a> (who paint the "scenery"). Animated films share some <a href="/wiki/Film_crew" title="Film crew">film crew</a> positions with regular <a href="/wiki/Live_action" title="Live action">live action</a> films, such as director, producer, sound engineer, and editor, but differ radically in that for most of the history of animation, they did not need most of the crew positions seen on a physical set. </p><p>In hand-drawn Japanese animation productions, such as in <a href="/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki" title="Hayao Miyazaki">Hayao Miyazaki</a>'s films, the key animator handles both layout and key animation. Some animators in Japan such as <a href="/wiki/Mitsuo_Iso" title="Mitsuo Iso">Mitsuo Iso</a> take full responsibility for their scenes, making them become more than just the key animator. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Specialized_fields">Specialized fields</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Animator&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Specialized fields"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Animators often specialize.

Each frame of a given scene was hand-drawn, then transposed onto celluloid, where it would be traced and painted. These finished "cels" were then placed together in sequence over painted backgrounds and filmed, one frame at a time.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Animation methods have become far more varied in recent years.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Today's cartoons could be created using any number of methods, mostly using computers to make the animation process cheaper and faster. These more efficient animation procedures have made the animator's job less tedious and more creative. </p><p>Audiences generally find animation to be much more interesting with sound. Voice actors and <a href="/wiki/Musician" title="Musician">musicians</a>, among other talent, may contribute vocal or music tracks. Some early animated films asked the vocal and music talent to synchronize their recordings to already-extant animation (and this is still the case when films are <a href="/wiki/Dubbing" title="Dubbing">dubbed</a> for international audiences). For the majority of animated films today, the soundtrack is recorded first in the language of the film's primary target market and the animators are required to synchronize their work to the soundtrack. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evolution_of_animator's_roles"><span id="Evolution_of_animator.27s_roles"></span>Evolution of animator's roles</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Animator&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Evolution of animator's roles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As a result of the ongoing transition from <a href="/wiki/Traditional_animation" title="Traditional animation">traditional</a> 2D to 3D <a href="/wiki/Computer_animation" title="Computer animation">computer animation</a>, the animator's traditional task of redrawing and repainting the same character 24 times a second (for each second of finished animation) has now been superseded by the modern task of developing dozens (or hundreds) of movements of different parts of a character in a virtual scene. </p><p>Because of the transition to computer animation, many additional support positions have become essential, with the result that the animator has become but one component of a very long and highly specialized production pipeline. In the <a href="/wiki/21st_century" title="21st century">21st century</a>, visual development artists design a character as a 2D drawing or painting, then hand it off to <a href="/wiki/3D_modeling" title="3D modeling">modelers</a> who build the character as a collection of digital polygons. <a href="/wiki/Texture_artist" title="Texture artist">Texture artists</a> "paint" the character with colorful or complex textures, and <a href="/wiki/Technical_director" title="Technical director">technical directors</a> set up <a href="/wiki/Skeletal_animation" title="Skeletal animation">rigging</a> so that the character can be easily moved and posed. For each scene, layout artists set up virtual cameras and rough <a href="/wiki/Blocking_(stage)" title="Blocking (stage)">blocking</a>. Finally, when a character's bugs have been worked out and its scenes have been blocked, it is handed off to an animator (that is, a person with that actual job title) who can start developing the exact movements of the character's virtual limbs, muscles, and facial expressions in each specific scene. </p><p>At that point, the role of the modern computer animator overlaps in some respects with that of his or her predecessors in traditional animation: namely, trying to create scenes already storyboarded in rough form by a team of story artists, and synchronizing lip or mouth movements to dialogue already prepared by a screenwriter and recorded by vocal talent. Despite those constraints, the animator is still capable of exercising significant artistic skill and discretion in developing the character's movements to accomplish the objective of each scene. There is an obvious analogy here between the art of animation and the art of acting, in that actors also must do the best they can with the lines they are given; it is often encapsulated by the common industry saying that animators are "actors with pencils".<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2015, <a href="/wiki/Chris_Buck" title="Chris Buck">Chris Buck</a> noted in an interview that animators have become "actors with <a href="/wiki/Computer_mouse" title="Computer mouse">mice</a>."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some studios bring in acting coaches on feature films to help animators work through such issues. Once each scene is complete and has been perfected through the "<a href="/wiki/Sweat_box" title="Sweat box">sweat box</a>" feedback process, the resulting data can be dispatched to a <a href="/wiki/Render_farm" title="Render farm">render farm</a>, where computers handle the tedious task of actually <a href="/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)" title="Rendering (computer graphics)">rendering</a> all the frames. Each finished film clip is then checked for quality and rushed to a film editor, who assembles the clips together to create the film. </p><p>While early computer animation was heavily criticized for rendering human characters that looked plastic or even worse, eerie (see <a href="/wiki/Uncanny_valley" title="Uncanny valley">uncanny valley</a>), contemporary software can now render strikingly realistic clothing, hair, and skin. The solid shading of traditional animation has been replaced by very sophisticated virtual lighting in computer animation, and computer animation can take advantage of many camera techniques used in live-action filmmaking (i.e., simulating real-world "camera shake" through <a href="/wiki/Motion_capture" title="Motion capture">motion capture</a> of a cameraman's movements). As a result, some studios now hire nearly as many lighting artists as animators for animated films, while costume designers, hairstylists, choreographers, and cinematographers have occasionally been called upon as consultants to computer-animated projects. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
