Script

Turning an idea into words.


When we thought of a great story, but until we write it down in script form we will never know if the story works. Transferring our thoughts into paper is one of the hardest steps in the movie making process, and people would often avoid actually writing a script as long as they can.

However, writing a script early on helps you spot issues such as:
  • Loopholes in your story.
  • Bad pacing.
  • No character development.

It also gives us a physical form of our story idea that we can share with people and get some feedback, which is priceless.

Storyboard

Building the storyboard is an integral part of putting together an animated feature. The process provides not only a visual interpretation of the script; it also allows designers in each department to get a feel for what is being presented on screen.

What is an animatic?

Simply put, animatic is an animated storyboard. Boards are brought into an editing program and are cut together with the correct timing and pace of the film. They include basic sound effects, dialogue recordings and scratch soundtrack.
