When it comes to bringing an animated project to life, these are the most important steps of the process! I sincerely hope this info helps!
Tell me all about what you're thinking of having animated, and what should happen in the video!
Having your idea written out in a script format helps! Describe all the actions and dialogue that a character will showcase. Fully explain how your story goes from beginning to end!
Let me know if you have audio for me to use! I can also edit together separate takes of dialogue if necessary.
If you have any company logos or important imagery on your end that you want featured in the video, please provide them for inclusion!
Please describe the character or characters that you want to be animated. It helps if you have a picture of them that I can use, and I will draw them in whatever style you prefer!
This is the step where I create the design of the character or characters for your approval. I can do multiple variations for you to choose from, and you can suggest changes until it's just right!
Tell me what backdrop you want the character to stand in front of, or what kind of room they're in! I can do realistic backgrounds and cartoon style.
This is the most important part of the process. I will begin making a rough layout of the animation with rough drawings to map out where characters and backgrounds will be placed. This is the blueprint of the animation, and it's my way of visualizing your script or idea.
After the storyboards are completed, I will combine the rough visuals with the audio, and make what is called the animatic! The animatic is a rough version of the film in black and white to test how things look all together!
At this stage, with all the ideas, audio, storyboards, and character designs approved, I can start making the animation. I will do my best to get it done in a timely manner!
I will be happy to share my progress with you by showing finished segments of animation along the way. It's pretty much a sneak peek of the final product!
At this point in the process, you can tell me if you'd like a horizontal or vertical video format, or if you're looking for a different resolution than 1080p.
I can add a caption overlay to the video as well if necessary!
Now that every step of the process is completed, I can send over the necessary files, and the finished product will be ready!
