Manners & Rules

Rules for professional animation production.

Let’s go step by step:

  • Storyboard
  • Key Animator
  • Douga
Douga number
  • Write it on the right side of the animation paper. Nowadays people are writing it directly on the cel itself.
  • Use a circle for the original drawing number, and a triangle for animation numbers created from a rough sketch. As the circle is used for the key frames, the triangle is used for reference for the dougaman to follow.
  • Write the END mark along with the number on the last number of each cell.
