Abstract

The article deals with the process of creating a 2D frame-by-frame animation which uses 3D animation as an aid tool for the creation of some of the character’s movements. It discusses the concepts that underlie the use of this technique, how technological advances have modified and diversified the way of producing animations and the reasons behind the choice of this method of production. In addition, it follows the process of pre-production, production and post-production of an animation by the author. The short film created is called “The world that was dear to me” and it is a story about growing up.
