The Animation Process

 

Script.

We take your creative and collaborative input and develop a creative script complete with basic storyboard ideas for your review. Or, if you know exactly what your script is, great! We take that and move directly into the art and storyboard for your project.

Animation.

This is the stage the magic happens. We take all of those approved assets and move them according to the script. We add jumps, characters enter and exit, shapes morph and grow and disappear and morph into other assets. Movement for every second to keep the animation dynamic and very watchable.

Storyboard.

Next move to storyboarding and animatic design, where the animation starts to take shape and come alive. With this you get up to 10 individual frames with art matched to the script to complete a storyboard. If you want a moving animatic, we can do that!

Music / Sound FX.

Depending on the project, music is either commissioned as an original work from a composer or selected from library sources. We create sound effects, along with an optional voice over and mix all three together creating the foundation that the animation, art and movement all play on.

Design.

From there, we develop and create art assets of characters, background images, and props for the animation. These you get to approve or revise. This will faithfully presents the look and feel of the final animation so you can get an idea of what the final cut will look like.

Render / Deliver.

After all that, the finalized video is exported and safely delivered into your hand, or inbox or dropbox - whatever you prefer. We take pride in the process of our craft, leaving nothing to doubt and making it as enjoyable and as easy as possible. We believe after you make one, you’ll want to make more.
