Ideally, you will be using this puppet for the majority of the shots. If they are not, it’s not too late to reconsider them and take a step back.Ĭreate your character’s puppet in Photoshop. I find it useful to test if my design choices are good and sustainable. I usually like to start with designing the first background. If you are happy with your storyboard, you can start the production phase. Creating an animatic, like I did for my short, is also very useful. For the first time, you will see your characters in action, test if your story works and you’ll have the chance to make changes to the foundations of your cartoon before starting the production phase. Keep iterating them until you are satisfied with the result. We are ready to start the pre-production phase! Start with sketching your characters, try to have as much fun with it as possible! Sketch backgrounds and props as well.
Get inspired! Use your favourite cartoons as references and try to break down which technical aspects you want to replicate. Everything needs to look consistent and in line with your budget.
For instance, think about how long will it take you to draw a background: how many of them will you be able to create before the deadline?ĭefining the style for your cartoon is fundamental. Once your story is ready, it’s time to think about the resources and plan your production according to them. It’s a fun process that leads to fun and unexpected results. There are many creative ways to create compelling stories, the one I chose for my short was improvisation. We will be using Photoshop in combination with CrazyTalk Animator 3.Īn interesting storytelling is the foundation of every good animation. In this guide, I will show you how I structured my work for the production of “ Squangy & Mr.Bowlsacc,” the 3-minute animation that won first place in the Animation Work 2018 contest. Making your own cartoon is a complex process that requires careful planning and lots of patience, but if you break down your tasks and tackle one of them at a time, it will become an easy and enjoyable process!

Remember, unlocking the Bootloader makes your phone unable to be selled.I am a multimedia designer, I deal on a daily basis with different tasks involving creative communication, from illustration, to sound design and editing. But I don't know, maybe you won't have this problem. I think the problem is MIUI ROM itself, it's probably that the smartphone encrypted the system when other type of ROM without MIUI is installed. The problem here was that it started getting in a loop, so I couldn't fixed it. Overtime apparently, the system encrypted himself and I couldn't do nothing. I did it before with a friend in my Redmi note 3 pro.
First you need to unlock the Bootloader to install every ROM you want, not only ROMs with MIUI interface and then find a Custom recovery and the ROM that fits with the Redmi note 7. The only thing you can do is to install a custom ROM. But overtime, cache increases and the memory stucks. Yeah, with factory reset all memories are cleaned up, no cache. I did the factory reset 2 TIMES! And it didn't work. I have a Redmi note 7 with MIUI 11 and when it came, the performance was horrible and today I still have the same problem.
