It takes the artists, animators, composers, programmers and testers over a year to make the game. It takes as many people to make a video game as it does to make a movie. They use the same equipment as movie makers do. Producer is in charge of everything, makes sure everyone does their job, and decides what the game is about. Designers write down everything that will happen and how every character looks.
Director is in charge of how the game parts fit together and how everyone works together to do it.
Artists make the characters and scenery. They may draw, mold from clay or photograph. Animators make the characters move. Computer programmers put art, animation, and the story together to make the game. Composers write the music for the game.
