Pre-animation encompasses the necessary steps to prepare a team of animators to bring your ideas to fruition. These steps include, but are not limited to:
- Series Bible Creation: Developing a comprehensive showcase of your concept to present to potential funders and distributors.
- Technical Scripts & Storyboarding: Transforming a written script into a document that storyboard artists can utilize to understand scene pacing and camera shots effectively.
- Animatics: Essentially an expanded version of a storyboard with more frames between each shot. This enables the team to delve into character movement, facial expressions, and refine the pacing of scenes.
- Rigs: Digital puppets of characters that are highly recommended if there are plans to reuse characters for future content. Rigs allow animators to efficiently and quickly animate scenes using the puppet, thus reducing costs.
