In this post I am going to compare the difference between the processes of 2D Animation and 3D animation, and why 2D animation is so much more time consuming.
The information from this blog came from http://media-freaks.com/the-process-of-3d-animation/ as a main source.
The start of the process is the same, however 3D animation, and even stop motion, after the animatic stage, go into another step of pre-production which is model making. And though model making is incredibly time consuming itself, after the model is made animation becomes simple because it is just a case of lighting and moving the model itself. This comes after the rigging portion, where you rig your model in order to be able to move in the way that it needs to.
A video which explains the core differences is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwL5dQbmwUg
To sum up, 3D animation, whilst also difficult and time consuming, has a much larger pre production stage than 2D, due to the making and rigging of the model, however it has a much shorter animation stage. The post production is pretty much the same though because of compositing and lighting and general fixes.
