Comprehensive Creative Briefing

Every animation project begins with a comprehensive creative brief. The brief comprises of an established purpose and scope of your animation project, and goes into the design direction, audio direction, and the narrative content. All creative elements of the project are filtered and refined through the lens of your brand identity to ensure an end result that fits right in with the rest of your marketing strategies.

We also detail technical aspects of the project, such as the video length, sizes, variations, formats, and the delegation of specific roles such as script writing and video/audio sourcing, to ensure absolute clarity before commencing the project.

Artistic craftsmanship requires precise planning. We set defined timelines and milestone markers to ensure timely delivery and review stages. This in-depth process ensures we capture your story's essence and transform it into an engaging and enduring animated story, primed for your audience's consumption.

Script Creation and Voicing

The power of every visual exploration is heightened dramatically by the story it tells. For larger animation projects, we collaborate with our clients to craft the perfect script that effectively communicates their brand's unique narrative. We accommodate flexibility and provide script-writing services if needed or work closely with your provided script to ensure it embodies your brand's message in a compelling and relatable manner.

In addition, we handle the sourcing of professional voiceover talent, providing an all-rounded approach towards creating the perfect blend of visuals and sound for your animation. Our trusted partners render your script's essence effectively to bring further richness to your brand's story. Your animation isn’t just seen, but heard, felt, and remembered.

Storyboarding and Experimentation

Storyboarding marks the start of the animation’s visualisation process. For all projects, regardless of size, we start experimenting with the visuals and adapting the plan with a series of sketched frames. This vital stage serves as a blueprint for the animation, enabling us to establish and rework key scenes and overall visual style.

During this phase, we invite continuous collaboration and feedback to ensure the visuals are in sync with your envisioned narrative. Through several iterations and improvements, we refine the storyboard into the perfect foundation for the animation.

Content Design and Illustration

Before we move into the motion making process, we spend time illustrating the key components of the animation. Our talented designers take and transform each storyboard frame into fully fledged scenes, with each asset in each scene being usable and manipulatable in the animation stage.

Every visual is crafted with close attention to the established aesthetic direction and to your brand’s visual identity, resulting in an animation that is not only exciting and engaging but also a distinct and authentically representative of your brand.

Animation and Composition

In this final stage lies the magic of animation - static designs begin to move, interact and tell a story. Our designers breathe life into each scene according, paying attention to the pace established in the storyboard and the rhythm of the animation with the accompanying audio. The motion brings depth to the graphics, capturing the audience's attention and engaging them in your story.

Every complexity of each scene is attentively and lovingly animated to feel natural yet fantastical, delivering a captivating experience. Through this process, we transform your narratives into visually stunning, immersive experiences for your audience to fully engage with.
