With the time it is getting more interesting. Below are the few tips and tricks which can help one to develop and sharpen the concepts regarding animation:
1. Story creation: This is the first stage of any animation because without a story, animation cannot be done and for the story a creative mind is needed who can think out of box because we cannot just copy paste the same story line from the different sources.

3. Character design: knowledge of art works here. How much interesting the animation will be depending on the type and design of the character. The role of a character animator is just like the role of film actor/actress in a movie. Characters are the sole of any animated movie and an experience animator can only think of designing the characters in a well form and each and every character should differ from each other.

Characters cannot just float on the screen it should be supported with the background design to show the complete story so background design is equally important like characters of the animated story.
