Question by Elizabeth T: Questions for cartooning in shows and movies.?
Hey Everybody, I have questions about real t.v cartooning. I've always wanted to be an author/cartoonist/screen-writter. Is that to much, or would they be fine to take together>
I'll use Avatar: the last air bender, as a good quality cartoon. I am only saying on how people make cartoons, no voices, no sounds, nothing.
1. Do you have to draw re-draw backgrounds every time a character moves?
2. Let's say, there's a a couple trees in the background, some of the leaves on the trees move, so does that mean the background has to be re-drawn as well?
3. I once saw a bambi thingy that showed that they had bambi and they moved the character (bambi) out on the screen. How is that done, (If it is still done know).
4. How many people does it take to make a good quailty cartoon. What do you think is the lowest amount of people to make a good qaulity show?
5. Is it possible to make a good quality show by yourself, like how much time to make 30 minute eps. 6. How much money does it take? (I heard it costs 1,000,000 dollars for one episode of avatar.) Does that included paychecks for peopl, and stuff besides the actual drawing? If you would only sketch, how much money would it take (for one person.)
7. Do people use special programs to get characters moving, the background coloring (even people coloring) etc...
8. How do you get the actual pictures moving on screen?
9. Is it possible for a kid like me to make a "little" show, (not anything big and fancy) like maybe 5 min or something, or could a kid actually make a good quality show by themselves, do they use more people because it's quicker (I know, impossible for a kid and all.) If I were to make a good quality episode, would it be possible, would it like take me a year to make just one episode or something?
What is POSSIBLE for a young person to do to gain more talent in my chosen subjet. These are questions for preparing for a possible career as a cartoonist/screen-writter.
11. What colleges should you go to.
12. How for a young person to prepare for a possible career in the subjects.
13. Good drawing books for young begginers
14. Good writting books for young begginers.
15. Good sites for my chosen subjects.
P.S the animation style of avatar is what I like, is there any books that have that animation style?)
Thanks for any help!
I know, a lot of questions, sorry.
Best answer:
Answer by `b0n 1) um, actually, you really need to edit anything for example your cartoon is a man standing, then he will run, you need to edit the man and the background because the action will occupy a certain space in the drawing.
2)yup.
3)maybe it's a caricature.
4)maybe it can be 3-5 people to make a quality cartoon-one for drawing one for coloring and one for lettering.
5)in 30 minute episodes, maybe it can takee you 1-3 weeks but if you're really responsibe you can finish it in a week

Sika Deer: Biology and Management of Native and Introduced Populations Reviews
Sika deer, the graceful spotted deer of Japanese and Chinese art, originally were native to Asia from far-east Russia to Vietnam to the islands of Japan and Taiwan. They are widely raised in captivity to supply velvet antler for traditional medicine. They also were introduced to Europe, North America, and New Zealand, where they compete or interbreed with native deer. Sika deer typically occupy lowland hardwood forests with low winter snow depths, where they thrive in sites disturbed by fire, storm, or logging. In high numbers they can severely impact vegetation though overgrazing, stripping bark from trees and damaging crop fields and forest plantations. Their numbers are high in many parts of Japan, moderate in Russia, and reduced or extinct in the wild in China, Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan. This book explores their basic biology, behavior, and ecology, including management for sport hunting, conservation or recovery of threatened populations, and resolution of conflict with humans in native and introduced lands.

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Agglomerated Cork Blocks, Plates, Sheets, Strip, Tiles, and Solid Cylinders in the United States Reviews
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders in the United States face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders to the United States? How important is the United States compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders vary from one country of origin to another in the United States? On the supply side, the United States also exports agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders. Which countries receive the most exports from the United States? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders in the United States. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders for those countries serving the United States via exports, or supplying from the United States via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where the United States fits into the world market for imported and exported agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders. The total
