Although many people work on the pictures, the figures of the Disney characters are always consistently drawn, as if by one artist.
Each artist working on a specific character is given the character model sheet of relative sizes, poses and the particular details of the character.
The film is also checked at each stage of production to make sure the characters are correctly drawn; other elements are consistent.
In animation projects, the person who follows the production from beginning to end is the director.
His biggest job is timing the animation action and coordination of all the elements that go to make the finished product.
The process is tedious, going through clean-ups and a series of checks.
While colors used to be done by compositors, now the digital department scans it in the computer.
"Animation is expensive," Panlaqui adds.
"So there are only a few companies who engage in the business.
Toon City Animation Studio where I work is an affiliate of Walt Disney Television, USA.
Most animators are members of what is called the Saturday Group, where some famous painters like Malang are members.
I am not a member though, but I try to attend seminars.
" Panlaqui is a graduate of Fine Arts from the University of the East.
He says ideal animators has an optimistic outlook in life.
Animators must be critical, intuitive, creative, good draftsmen, serious performers and team players.
He should be able to appreciate what he is doing and he should love it.
Panlaqui projects with Toon City include animations in "Winnie the Pooh, Belle's Magical Stories, Hercules and Mouse Works.
Panlaqui opines that computers cannot substitute animators.
"Computers can be used as tools, but cannot be an exclusive method of animation.
