ABSTRACT:
An animated cartoon production process is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: photographing a plurality of drawings one by one using a TV camera; causing the photographed drawings to be stored one by one in an image storage device; and reproducing and displaying desired drawings for a certain time interval by an image display device to check the motion of the figures in the animation. The method further comprises the steps of producing in-between drawings between key shots, adjusting the key shots or removing any of them; and thereafter copying and painting the cells and filming the completed cells. An animated cartoon production device is disclosed. This device comprises a screen; a beam splitter disposed opposite to the screen; a TV camera that photographs the drawing on the screen through the beam splitter; an image storage device in which the images photographed by the TV camera are stored; and an image display device for reproducing the images stored in the image storage device and projecting them onto the screen through the beam splitter.
