Animation is the means of creating magic on paper. The famous animator Richard Williams, refers to the ‘aphrodisiac’ qualities of creating images that ‘walk and talk and think’ (2001, p.11). My own passion lies in creating stories, particularly those which come alive through animation.

The project focussed on learning another aspect of animation. Hand-drawn animation. The reason for settling on this idea was primarily because it was an incredibly exciting topic. Secondary considerations indicated that the project would be of huge benefit to the development of animation skills and would lead to a re-examination of one’s method.
The rest of this chapter introduces the project, explaining the history behind the idea and detailing why it should qualify as an innovation. Chapter 2 comprises of research to identify the stages of the 2D process within the industry pipeline. This information provides the basis for formulating a personal method of working, which is explored extensively in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 clarifies a few practical problems with regards to having to work with new unfamiliar equipment. Chapter 5 focuses on actual animation technique, involving detailed research and extensive assessment of problems, successes and failures. The project is concluded in Chapter 6.
