Drawn characters

For drawn, anime and 3D films, design options and the stylised motion check take the place of casting.

Drawn characters [best available, not yet validated]:

• Design options: two or three designs per role, drawn in the style sheet's style owner frame (see Stylised films (Seedream 5.0 Pro) → The style anchor). Each is one three-quarter design view on light grey, plus one in-film moment. Vary silhouette and proportion; write them from the casting sheet. Choose with the rubric's points 1, 2, 5 and 6.

• The stylised motion check, internal, before the treatment is sent: one draft per chosen design on Template A, with the style owner frame and the design view as the only references. The character turns from three-quarter toward the front, hits the role's main expression, and does one action in the medium's timing (held poses, one smear).

• It passes if, on the 1080p finish, the line, the shading steps and the proportions hold through the turn, nothing pushes toward volume or a photographic face, and the style does not drift.

The chosen design view becomes the start of the character's turnaround (see Stylised films (Seedream 5.0 Pro) → Turnaround, expression map, state sheets). How drawn characters act: Performance → Drawn and stylised acting.
