1 Understand the vision

Before you start animating, you need to understand the vision and the story behind the characters. What are their personalities, motivations, emotions, and actions? How do they relate to the environment and the other characters? How do they fit into the overall style and tone of the project? You should communicate with the artists and designers who created the concept art, the models, the textures, and the rigs, and ask them for feedback and guidance. They can help you translate their ideas into animation, and avoid inconsistencies and conflicts.

2 Use references and tools

One of the best ways to create compelling character animation is to use references and tools that can help you capture the nuances and details of realistic movement and expression. You can use video footage, photos, sketches, or even act out the scenes yourself as references. You can also use tools like motion capture, facial capture, or blend shapes to speed up the process and enhance the quality. However, you should always remember that references and tools are not substitutes for creativity and skill. You still need to apply your artistic judgment and modify the animation as needed to suit the vision and the story.

3 Follow the pipeline and standards

Collaborating with artists and designers also means following the pipeline and standards that are established for the project. You should adhere to the naming conventions, file formats, folder structures, and version control systems that are used by the team. You should also respect the deadlines, milestones, and deliverables that are agreed upon. This will help you avoid confusion, errors, and conflicts, and ensure that your animation is compatible and consistent with the rest of the project.

4 Test and iterate

Another important aspect of collaboration is testing and iterating your animation. You should test your animation in the engine or the software that is used for the final output, and see how it looks and performs in different situations and scenarios. You should also solicit feedback from the artists and designers, as well as from other animators, directors, or testers. They can help you identify and fix any issues or problems, and suggest improvements or changes. You should be open to constructive criticism, and willing to revise and refine your animation until it meets the expectations and requirements.

5 Learn and share

Finally, collaborating with artists and designers is also a great opportunity to learn and share new skills, techniques, and insights. You should be curious and eager to learn from their experiences and expertise, and ask them questions or advice. You should also be generous and willing to share your own knowledge and tips, and help them with their challenges or difficulties. By learning and sharing, you can improve your own animation skills, and contribute to the growth and success of the team and the project.

I would like to add some more stuffs for a successful output. 1. While doing character animation, we should understand the director perspective also for getting fast approval. Because some projects may be experimental process, which can be lead to lots of retakes and some may be a very clear requirement, of we achieve that can get get fast approval. 2. Also a good animatic helps a lot. 3. Before approaching to the work we should understand the industry also, because different industries required different types of character animation like Gamming need mostly cycles, or VFX need fully realistic, CG need mix approach, ads need mix of all and should plan accordingly.
