Pre-Production Services

This starts with an idea discussion with the client and the creative team and based on their discussion, the script is finalized and shown to the client for approval. Once the client approves the script the storyboarding is done. The storyboarding involves the creation of a pictorial representation of the script. This can be done in a sketch format or even using the actual assets that would be used like the characters, backgrounds, and other elements. The Pre-Production stage of the animation industry consists of creating animatics based on the storyboard. Animatics is a broad outline of the way the various elements will interact with the environment or each other. It tries to show the movement being used in the animation in a rough format to give an idea about how the final animation will look. It is similar to the animation but with missing parts. For example, a person may be shown running, but only the start and end of the characters run may be shown or the way the character will turn their body maybe show.
