Post Production Animation

Computer aided design and animation has helped to reduce drastically the thousands of hours of labor involved with post production animation. The days of special effects are definitely numbered. While large film production companies and studios used to spend millions on special effects and pyrotechnics with stunt men, nearly all of this can be added at a later date in the calm safety of an editing suite with post production animation. The leading lady need not even get out of bed! The original Star Wars film in the seventies, was probably one of the first movies to use animation laid over previously shot film. The techniques used then have not changed much since. Characters had to act toward an imaginary enemy and respond to imaginary artillery or attacks. Post production animation ensured that enemy fighters were superimposed on the film at a point where the actors were focusing. Since the cost of computer animation has fallen so drastically, it is now far more cost effective, and safer, to add these images onto a film rather than try and create them using sets, explosives, or models.

Post production animation is a popular field and competition is intense. Most film houses are looking for people with the requisite skills who can hit the ground running and make a contribution from day one. They are looking for a broad skill set including practical, theoretical, and technical skills in production animation, conventional art skills, and modern computer software knowledge.
