Where does the background design come in the animation pipeline?Īnimation is created through a process in which creatives contribute to the final animation at different stages. In larger studios, these roles will be divided between different people.īackground designers are usually employed as staff in an animation studio, rather than being freelance. In smaller studios they are likely do the role of a layout artist and a background designer. The role of a background designer varies depending on the size of the animation studio. Once approved, these designs can be refined with line and tone, often by a layout artist. They present these designs to the director and address any of their feedback to create a scene with which the director is happy.
Background designers also watch out for the way objects in the foreground and background of scenes will interact and make sure that everything lines up appropriately and that nothing is too distracting.
They create designs which fit the style of the animation, thinking about colour, texture and light. Sometimes multiple scenes will use the same background, so, firstly, they need to make a list of all the backgrounds that need to be designed for the film. Once the storyboard has been signed off, they use the storyboard panels as a basis and inspiration from which to create detailed backgrounds for each scene. Background designers design the scenery around, or on top of, where the animation happens.
