How to Code Faster

[Lily.v]

@EpisodeNaddy

What do you do first and what do you do last? (example: dialogue then coding, coding then dialogue, going back to add music and fix speechbubbles, etc.)

Summary

1. Choose the background
2. Code all overlays
3. Spot directing
4. Dialogue AND animation
5. Zooms
6. Speechbubbles
7. Sound

@EpisodeNaddy

How do you stay concentrated and focused?

I usually listen to some music.

@EpisodeNaddy

Are there some certain types of scenes that you used to code slower but now code much faster (example: packed ballroom scenes, school hallways, or maybe some other scene that requires a lot of time but doesn’t necessarily need a lot of background characters)? Were there any methods of which got you to do it more quickly?

Summary

Yes! I used to be very slow with scenes including gifs and many overlays, but now I do it over twice as fast! It’s just practice really.

@EpisodeNaddy

How do you keep your sanity? (this is a serious question, LOL)

Seeing the results, and being able to be proud in the end, is what is making it worth it for me.
