When starting an animation production, together with the client we explain our working method in 8 steps. In these steps, we make choices. Strategic choices about what to show or not to show? How are we going to tell the story? What are the USPs of the product? Should the animation be easily adapted in the future? In short, a lot of questions in which we find a solution together. Do you find it difficult to get your story or idea on paper, or do you need help with a scenario/script? We will gladly help you on your way.
If proper CAD models cannot be provided, we can create a suitable design for you. We always handle our clients’ digital files with care. The use of such files is almost always accompanied by a non-disclosure clause (NDA). We can import all file formats for both 2D and 3D applications. All 3D animations are animated in 3ds Max and rendered in Vray.
If you would like to know which software applications we work with, please take a look at our software page
SYNOPSIS
A synopsis is the first step in creating a screenplay/script. Where outline elements of the animation are described.
SCRIPT
It describes everything that can be “seen” and “heard” in the film in minute detail.
STORYBOARD
A collection of drawn-out shots of scenes from an animated script as the director envisions them.
ANIMATIC
A simple montage of separate storyboard drawings set in a timeline with music and a temporary voice-over.
2D/3D PRODUCTION
This is the production phase where the drawings/ 3d models are animated.
RENDERING
The rendering phase takes place on several computers that “color” the animation and provide it with light and materials. The individual images (sequence) are finally stored on a server.
POST-PRODUCTION
In this phase, we assemble the images that have been rendered. Music, sound and visual effects are added. Possibly color correction to enhance the footage.
MASTERING
The production “master” is encoded to different file formats.
