1. Discovery and Concept Development

Initial Consultation: We begin by meeting with the client to understand their goals, target audience, and key messages they want to convey. This is also the stage where we gather any existing brand guidelines or assets.

Research and Inspiration: Our team conducts thorough research on the client’s industry, competitors, and current market trends. We brainstorm ideas and gather inspiration to develop a concept that aligns with the client’s vision and objectives.

Concept Proposal: Based on our findings, we create a concept proposal that outlines our creative direction, including initial sketches, style frames, and a brief narrative. This proposal is presented to the client for feedback and approval.

2. Script and Storyboarding

Scriptwriting: Once the concept is approved, our writers craft a detailed script that effectively communicates the desired message in a compelling and concise manner.

Storyboarding: The approved script is then translated into a storyboard. This visual blueprint includes detailed illustrations of each scene, along with notes on motion, transitions, and camera angles. Storyboards help us visualize the flow and timing of the animation.

3. Design and Style Development

Style Frames: We develop a series of style frames that showcase the visual style of the animation. These frames include character designs, backgrounds, and color palettes, providing a glimpse into the final look of the animation.

Client Feedback: The style frames are presented to the client for feedback. We ensure that the proposed visual style aligns with the client’s brand and expectations before moving forward.

4. Animation Production

Asset Creation: Our artists create all necessary assets, including characters, backgrounds, and props, based on the approved style frames and storyboards.

Animation: Using industry-leading software, our animators bring the story to life. We focus on fluid motion, expressive character animation, and engaging visual effects to ensure a high-quality final product.

5. Audio Integration

Voiceover and Sound Design: We collaborate with professional voiceover artists to record the script. Additionally, our sound designers add sound effects and background music that enhance the overall impact of the animation.

Audio Syncing: The audio elements are synchronized with the animation to ensure a seamless and cohesive viewing experience.

6. Review and Refinement

Internal Review: Before presenting the final animation to the client, our team conducts an internal review to ensure everything meets our high standards of quality and accuracy.

Client Review: The completed animation is shared with the client for feedback. We welcome constructive input and make necessary revisions to ensure the final product meets the client’s vision.

7. Delivery and Support

Final Delivery: Once the animation is approved, we deliver the final files in the required formats, ready for distribution across various platforms.
