3D Animation Guidance

Step 1. Storyboard/Camera Path

This is an optional stage for large scale projects where we search for the best way to present your product or project.

Together we work on the main concept or idea behind the video. To further develop the concept we use drawn storyboards or photo collages. They give us basic understanding about timing, characters, objects, cameras, narrative.

Our goal is to catch viewers mind, create emotions and atmosphere. Also at this stage, we collect image and video references which help us convey our idea.

STEP 2. 3D MODELING PHASE & CAMERA SETUP

a. Analyze CAD plans, sections, etc. for technical details of project
b. Create 3D models
c. Create 3D environment
d. Setup scene layout
e. Create additional and supporting details
f. Determine the number of cameras to be created according to the Animation Sequence provided by clients
g. Create and set cameras
h. Create camera animation rigs and paths for animation script
i. Set the timelines and durations of shots per camera

Since animatic looks really sketchy it accompanied by mood references usually.

STEP 3. KEY FRAMES (TEXTURING, LIGHTING, SCENES ETC.)

a. Set the color theme of the environment, buildings, exterior, interior, and associated models
b. Texture the environment and 3D models
c. Exterior day mode lighting setup
d. Interior mode lighting setup
e. Background music for the animation
Finishes specification or material samples would help us greatly to speed things up. We also add vegetation and nice small details into the scenes.

STEP 4. 3D RENDERING, MOTION GRAPHICS (PARALLEL TASKS)

a. Create raw 3D output data for compositing
b. Visual effects
c. Motion graphics
d. Transitions

STEP 5. POST-PRODUCTION

a. Composite raw 3D data
b. Background music and background score
c. Special effects
d. Environment
e Animation
f. Navigation
g. Transitions
h. Editing

STEP 6. DELIVERY

Final video on the required resolution. 8-bit/16-bit color. MP4 or MOV format.
