The making of a south park episode starts with the animators having a 22 minute script which the voices are then recorded and the animators turn the actions in sketched camera shots to bring it to life. Once the characters and backgrounds have been made then the lip sync's and expressions have to be placed on the characters. The audio is then put on it.
Dot
Dot was created using a Nokia N8 phone which was attached to a microscope. To create it they had to use 50 different models of dot of which were 3 for each position. Whilst filming they had to use the necessary character, take the shot, then take the character out to then put the next one on and then take another shot ect. Around 4 seconds of the animation was made per day. Dot was made by an animator who created 2D designs and gave them to a 3D modeller who would then use a 3D printer to make the character. Once they were printed off they had to put the wire on the character and paint her. They then, when it came to editing the editor had to use a back plate to remove the wire from the shot.
Peppa Pig
The creators of Peppa pig used something called CelAction to produce the animation. They have a workflow unique to our methods of production which means that they can tell the stories they want with no limitations.
CelAction2D is a professional 2D animation which is normally used to create films, TV series and adverts. It is very quick to use as they have effects built into the scene to allow them to be animated and edited fast by animators.
