Our Full Service Process

This is an example of how a standard commercial CG (3d) animated video production might work. For larger productions this Pipeline becomes a bit more complex. But hopefully it gives you a good idea of what working with us could feel like.

Preproduction -Identify the message

Together, we work with you to figure out the core goals of your video project, and Build messaging around that, balancing clarity, strategy, Entertainment and memorability. tailored to your specific needs, This results in a script and a loose story board, initial decisions will be made on the tone and a general direction for the look and sound of the piece.

Preproduction - Animatic

We put the messaging together as quick as possible, assembling rough storyboards and scratch audio into a animatic. Think of it as a rough sketch of what the final video will be. With rough sketches as placeholders for final shots. The animatic is a blueprint or a map showing you where the project is going, This keeps you at the centre of the process, able to make decisions and shape the project. Course correcting as needed. We keep communication open and decisions shared—no nasty surprises.

Preproduction - Assets & Shots

Every project is different. We stay flexible and responsive to make sure the process fits your flow—not the other way around. But this is typically where we build the models (characters, props and sets) whilst Taking the shots from the animatic and laying the characters out in the scene. As the shots progress we replace the original sketches of the animatic giving you on going view of the progress. By the end of this phase, the animatic sketches should be fully replaced by crudely rendered and barely animated CG and final Voice acting and preliminary music and sound design should be in the edit. The assets should be feature complete shaded and rigged (although this will not be apparent in the edit file, yet)

Production

The real Animation starts here. We begin turning the ‘block out’ shots into finely finished animations. Once motion is approved, We render the models out into finished video footage Fully shaded, with materials and lighting applied. This rendered footage is applied to the edit file replacing the blocked footage.

POST

All shots should now be complete and signed off. From here. Any effects that are needed will be added, whilst the edit is refined. Then Colour grading is performed to make the whole thing more cohesive, and give us a final look. Sound design, voices and music are combined and mastered, resulting in a complete and polished piece. Final deliverable files are produced and handed over to you. Invoices are in and we are off to the pub.

AFTERCARE
