Texting and Scones

About

My blog is full of things I like - the Avengers, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Benedict Cumberbatch, Disney, silly gifs, things I find pretty... anything that strikes my fancy, really. And of course my thoughts and opinions on what is happening to me at the time.

Come in, stay a while! My ask is always open and I love to hear from you!

This is for oppressorplutonium who yesterday asked us:  How long does it usually take to create an animated cg 3d movie?

I found this image The Alchemy of Animation by Don Hahn. He put this image together to represent the time span that it might take to make a traditional 2D animation, not quite a 3D one like you asked but I thought it might help give you a better idea what kind of planning goes into making an animated film. On a side note Don Hahn did say that it often took longer than 3 years to make a 2D film.
