Producing Animated Films VS. Producing Live-Action Films
Hey there. Today, I'll be discussing the similarities and differences between the production of an AF (Animated Film) and a LAF (Live-Action Film).
Similarities:
One of the first things that one must do when planning the production of either an AF or a LAF is to come up with a story, or plot line. Another goal that both types of films must do is come up with the casting for the film. Both types of films typically have a set time period by the end of which their movie must be finished and ready for viewing. Both types also will create short advertisements with scenes from their movie, called trailers.
Differences:
I will now discuss the differences in the ways that each of type of filming goes through the processes above. The story in an AF is presented to the production team (animators, directors, producers, etc...) as astoryboard; while typically in a LAF, the story will be written as a screenplay, then converted into scripts for each of the separate characters. In an AF, the casting team is looking for voice actors that will fill the required parts. Many films will end up reusing voice actors to fill different roles in the film. In a LAF, however, the casting team is looking for actors that; have good chemistry with each other, will portray their characters effectively, and ones that will make good use of expressions and body language to communicate with the audience what that character is going through.
Okay, so I didn't discuss the differences between all of the similarities above [try and puzzle that one out ;)] but I did discuss the similarities and differences between the production of Animated Films and Live-Action Films. Hope this helped, for whatever question you may have had!
