well the scanning isn't very interesting, it's literally just that: scanning.
though it is a special scanner that scans very quickly, and there's a program being used that automatically arranges the pages in an image sequence and orients them according to the peg holes at the bottom of the paper to make sure everything aligns.
Compositing.. well it's an whole other beast, and I'm not a professional compositor. Essentially what happens is that the backgrounds and animation gets coloured, Background layers & animation layers all get put together "on top of each other", camera moves are added, parallax, if there is any, and effects, if there are any. The sound design is a whole other job that is done by our in-house sound designer and I don't really know much about that.
I am however planning a series of posts that are more in-depth about how animated short films are made. So check back occasionally, it'll come :)
haha no problem, I don't have patience for a LLLOOOOOT of other things. and even with animation I occasionally need someone to kick my behind.
also, we need more animation appreciators than we do animators! ;) otherwise no-one would have a job.... hahaha
thank you! :)

Cool. :) I love animation but I'm not sure I have the patience for it. ;) I really respect those who do, though!

Haha, I guess that's true! :D
