Writing for Animation ✍️ | Animation 101

[@icecreamhero2375]

Spongebob taught me an important lesson about writing. The plot doesn't matter. It's all about character and execution. They turned a plot about a missing name tag into one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life. There is humor to be found in every situation.

[@jonathanwilliams7133]

What a freakin' awesome comment! :)

[@NintendasticoAnimations]

Yeah! :D

[@joaopereira817]

You said it all, dude. Totally true.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

True.

[@smg4reblooperd182]

Correct

[@terrenceharris-hughes4436]

Writing is the most underrated part of good cartoons

[@polrusstomakriss9001]

Exactly

[@akganimationstudioproducti3779]

And it’s the part that adds the heart, soul and spirit of the project

[@szn1580]

Avatar last Airbender for sure best written cartoon

[@lbrtvlldr]

Underrated? Maybe by the fans. Writers have more power and make much more money than most animation workers.

[@reginaldforthright805]

@@lbrtvlldrin modern tv animation, no one is highly skilled. But on something like a Disney hand drawn film the animators and character designers are most important. Writing for animation your main job is to serve the art. If you were good enough for writing to be the focus you would be writing novels.

I saw the four-act structure graphic on twitter the other day, and then took a look at the script/premise for the legend of korra episode "beginnings" the first avatar wan episode, and I essentially ended up with my head in my hands just in awe that it followed it so perfectly. i love it i love finding THINGS. we're writers guys lets GOOOOO

[@-UAN-BENJAMINJ]

this video is so much useful for the animation ... she teaches that arts are possible and we should write write the dream of episode which we think , review our portfolio before the script , research and reach out , production route , 6 stages to write episode , 4 act structure , she said to write more practice more , build community etc

[@palanikumar7960]

Animation writers develop story ideas and present them in the form of scripts. Their scripts are used by storyboard artists and directors to work out the visual art style of a project. A spec script screenplay is a non-commissioned and unsolicited screenplay. Act 2 is usually called the confrontation, and the basic components in the second act are The main character needs to encounter obstacle after obstacle for him/her to develop and for the story to be interesting to the reader.This is the place in the story where the character usually realizes what he or she must learn or change going forward.Knowing your audience -their general age, gender, education level, religion, language, culture, and group membership-is the single most important aspect of developing your speech.the audience listens, often without asking questions or responding with any feedback.

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

Wow. A lot more went into it than I thought. Both doing and getting the job seems a lot more complicated than I expected.

[@-UAN-JIAVUDEENR]

we must always try writing different story ideas, research about the topics , its always useful, follow the act structure and try reading and rewriting the script and make corrections. If necessary ask the opinion of others

[@LyricalTrish]

I'm Ugandan and I'm an aspiring screenwriter. My folks want me to pursue something I don't want. I know I will make it. Thanks Rebecca

[@PillaryJames]

[@ggi1315]

I love to create a new story but idk how to transfer it to the paper..

[@goku20015]

Where do we submit to? Can we submit multipal spec scripts?

[@Jothsal]

I have some episodes written, but none of them are finished because whenever I get to that part I feel that fear that I did something wrong...

[@pesospoundspedro8483]

Analyze and adapt. Just do anything you desire and get notes on how to improve from the masters. The only time you really need a mentor haha

[@suryasivaselvam3112]

I suppose it would be a lot easier to write a story now than it was before.

[@Tatiana-sl6zr]

Very good as a few weeks
