Our process
Producing a character animation can be complex but we partner with you at every stage of the process to ensure we create something amazing that brings your dreams to life and achieves your objectives.
Discovery
We arrange a kick-off call to chat through the brief, discuss your goals and objectives of the project and highlight any challenges. We also discuss the potential style of the animation and go through any references.
Development
We then develop a concept and script for your project. Once that's agreed, we develop an Audio/visual script. We'll also create visual references and from that we produce style frames and storyboards.
Animation
Once that stage is signed off, we move onto animation. We produce a preview for you to review. This allows you to provide feedback early on in the production. We then carry on with the rest of the animation.
Audio
With your animation complete, we go ahead and mix the voiceover and music and add sound effects to really add production value and immerse the viewer. Audio is the secret sauce to any successful project.
Final delivery
Now that production has finished, we supply you with your final animation in whatever format you require. We can also produce edits for social media and give advice when it comes to launching your video.
What is character animation?
Character animation is the process of bringing a still character to life through movement and expression. The process is complicated and involves multiple stages. The first is to design and create the look of the characters. Once finalised, you then create rigs. These rigs allow animators to move the characters in a way that is both expressive and believable. Character animation takes great deal of skill and is time consuming but the benefits outweigh these slight drawbacks.
What are the benefits of character animation?
As mentioned above, character animation can be hugely beneficial for your project. Characters are hugely engaging for viewers and it helps brands build emotional connections with their audiences. It also allows you to visualise and show complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand and is also relatable. Even though it is time-consuming, it’s still far cheaper than hiring actors or creating sets and gives you greater flexibility during the production of your character animation.
