Some further clarification on certain steps in the process.
One of the most important steps: writing the script for the episode! The entire outline for the series is complete, however, I write individual episodes only after I've completed the previous. I have more fun that way!
I also use Google Docs to write the scripts, if that even needed to be said.
Me, my sister, and occasionally other family members will gather around and scream into the mic for a few hours.
It's so very unproffesional but also so very fun, so who cares? :)
Basically the rough sketch of the entire episode. During this step, I put the voice lines together while figuring out the general postions and emotions of the characters.
The Finalizing process is made up of multiple smaller steps! These steps don't need to be completed in any particular order, but I'll list them in order of importance.
SOUND EFFECTS - pretty self explanatory. I get most of my SFX from Zapsplat.com!
QUALITY CHECKS - make sure animation errors are kept at a minimum
COMPOSING - make the background music for the episode.
THUMBNAIL - Decide what the thumbnail will be, and draw it.
