Making an animated short is much easier than it seems. There are as many styles of animation as there are animators, and starting with a short film is a great way to practice animation techniques as you develop your own style.
Like any other movie, animation takes time, patience, and a lot of planning to get right, but anyone with a computer can make an animated short.
How to start?
Generating the script may seem the easiest part but you have to have the ideas clearly expressed and give them shape before starting. It is almost impossible to improvise in animated shorts as opposed to making shorts with people where you can change or add things on the fly.
Then you have to select the subject, what will be the center of the short film? It can be from totally superficial height to something much more complex and deep. You must continue with the characterization of characters, what is it that will catch the public’s attention? This can be anything from a person or animal.
Next act must be determined with the environments or atmospheres in which the short is going to happen.
