Animation crew

An animation crew is a group of people working for an animation production and a cartoon.

There are lots of people to include in an animation production, including writing staff, storyboarding crew, character/background designers, animators, and voice actors.

Writing staff

Every TV episode starts off as a script or screenplay, which is a text of a play or a document they use in film. They include proper spelling, character names, and proper formatting. Screenplays are important for the writers to understand what the episode is about.

Writer

Writers help with scripts; they make sure scripts are written perfectly, dialogue for the characters is heard correctly, and they meet their deadlines. Once the pilot episode script has been picked up, someone may hire a director to work with a line producer to hire more people for production. Writers may meet with each other in an empty room with a table to discuss the script.

Story editor

A story editor will work with the writers on scripts to make improvements, share their feedback about them, aid in solving script problems, and work with timing. There is another story editor too, like an executive story editor; they also help the writers develop new stories for production to use.

Script coordinator

A script coordinator is part of the writing staff. Once the writers send the first draft, the script coordinator will check each draft carefully to examine proper spelling, formatting, grammar, and other things. Script coordinators take notes of any legal issues that occur, and they examine the character names and all the places in the draft to make sure they don't correspond with real-life places or people.

Storyboard

When the script is complete, the storyboards begin. It's a great example of how the script will look with pictures in a box. Storyboards are done with professional storyboard software, like photoshop, Clip studio paint, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and Shottio. Storyboards are done by professional people, working for hours and hours.

Storyboard artist

Storyboard artists are people who get the script from the director and visualize what the director is thinking, so they draw rough sketches about what pops up in their mind. The storyboard artist's work differs in live action than in motion picture; the storyboard artist makes storyboards and presents them to the cinematographer so they can put it on screen.

Storyboard revisionist

A storyboard revisionist is a type of person who redraws and improves the sketches that the storyboard artist drew. The reason why they redraw the sketches the storyboard artist drew is because I mentioned that storyboard artists draw rough sketches, so they make the drawings smoother. A storyboard revisionist is also responsible for encouraging storyboard artists and making sure the storyboards are good for production. Some TV shows hire storyboard revisionists.

Storyboard cleanup

Storyboard cleanup means cleaning up the rough storyboards that the storyboard artist made to make them smoother, instead of keeping them rough. They use the
