south park starts their production with storyboards, this starts the domino effect that is the production of an episode, they then get a script and start making the script into a more refined storyboard, the characters and location backgrounds are then set in stone and the team move on to actual animation, lip synching and everything else, the sound and audio assets are brought in and the episode is finished, the episode making takes exactly a week and then the episode gets shipped out.
Dot began it's life as a promotion for nokia and their new microscope attachment for their phones, they used a nokia N8 to actually shoot the animation. they had different actions ready for the characters and dots. of course as the character is only 9mm tall it is impossible to really shape or change the model so it had to be made an unconventional way, they 3D printed it. The models were then hung on very thin wire and then painted. to make sure the model was how they wanted it, they would not move it at all during filming, they would only move the background as it was easier. the movement of the background was monitored by a computer so they could know exactly where it was.
peppa pig is made using a program called Cell2D this program gives the show the feel that it has, and allows the develpoers and animators to get what they want. peppa pig was first thought of in a very vague fashion, the storyboard had very large stokes on it so no detail at all could be made out but they animated the whole thing with this pink blob to then add details in later when the design had been finalized, a very roundabout way of working, but it continues to work for them to this day!
