- 1). Draw the first frame of your movie. This frame should establish the artistic style of the movie, as well as the degree to which gender, location, and tone are going to be emphasized.
- 2). Draw the subsequent frames. Each frame should match the proportion and style of the first frame, but continue to extend the sequence forward.
- 3). Train your camera on the first frame. Try to eliminate any shadows or the effects of poor lighting. Use a desk light or other high-wattage light to improve the image.
- 4). Film the sequence of frames. You can take individual snapshots of each frame and then edit them together, or use the flip method. In the flip method, you place the frames in reverse order and then flip them from bottom to top so that the sequence moves forward.
- 5). Conduct voice-overs. The voice-over will give your animated figures a distinctive personality and help your audience connect with each character.
- 6). Edit the movie together with modern editing software. Programs like Windows Movie Maker and Final Cut are so accomplished that some professionals use them. Sync the images so the pace and tone are right for the movie.
- 7). Distribute your movie on iTunes or other websites.
