All you really need to know is (1) we apply the same proven, systematic approach on all projects (2) we’re flexible, and (3) we make it easy for you.

Script and Storyboard Phase

We can work with existing storyboards and script, or we can assist you with the development of both. Storyboards are an important piece of communication between
the client and the hybrid team because they provide a foundation for everyone to
move forward. Once the script, outline, storyboard and characters are finalized and
approved, the animation production begins.

Steps in this stage

  • Script writing and development
  • Outline
  • Text or Visual Storyboards
  • Visual research / Conceptualization
  • 3D character model development

Preview Phase

An animation preview movie is essentially a non-color rough draft of the animation. Its central purpose is to involve our client early in the process so they can review timing, composition, movement and overall flow. Because we’re still in the preview phase, changes at this stage to the animation can be made with a relatively quicker turnaround time. After revisions have been made and there is approval on the preview movie, final rendering will begin.

In summary:

  • Record scratch voice recording
  • 3D environment development
  • Interaction of characters
  • Add text and graphics

Final Color Phase

The rendering stage of the project involves taking the approved preview animation scenes and processing them for rendering. This process involves incorporating final lighting and materials with the approved cast of characters and the approved rough preview animation. Once the rendering has finished, we’ll combine the final animation and voiceover with essential elements such as music, special effects, titles, and graphics

In summary:

  • Develop and render final color
  • Add professional voice over
  • Finalize fonts and on screen text
  • Add music
  • Refine text and branding
  • Add special effects
  • Deliver final animation
