Sound Breakdownįor the dialogue, a sound breakdown can be done. The colour models will be used by the colourists and the coloured background will be sent for compositing. Colour models will often be added to the model pack. When the colours are approved, colour models are produced and backgrounds are painted. This contributes to a consistency or an emotional contrast, where needed, in the show. The colour stylist chooses the colours and ambiance for the production and balances the characters, props and effects with the location palettes. Once the black and white designs are done, they are sent to colour styling. Character, Prop and Background Colour Styling

#Pre production pro#
This step can be achieved with Toon Boom Storyboard Pro software which was developed specifically for this purpose. Generally, an external software is used to do the storyboard editing to create the animatic. This step is unnecessary if you are absolutely sure of your storyboard and timing, but an animatic is always recommended. This will help avoid mistakes that would have been found only at the end of a show. It is simply the storyboard frames changing over time to help evaluate the rhythm and the look of the show. The storyboard is scanned in and mounted with the sounds and dialogue.
#Pre production movie#
The animatic is the first movie of a project and is used to help the animators and compositors. The animatic, also known as leica, comes directly from the storyboard. These voices will be used later on for the animatic, the animation and the final production compositing. The actors will read the lines from the script and record their dialogue. The script is needed for dialogue and extra sound effects. The audio recording is also called voice recording. The designs and models will be used by the colour stylist and layout artist, and finally by the animator.

Once these designs are done and approved, the model pack is produced, containing all of the models for all these aspects. The artist has to decide on the production style, the character's look, the location's complexity, and so on. Before any animation, background or colouration can be done, the overall design needs to be addressed. Once the script is completed, the designer can start work. Traditionally, the storyboard is created on paper. The storyboard is essential to the layout and posing, and the animatic. The first storyboard is not always exact, as the designs are subject to many changes during the beginning of a production. The storyboard is often created at the same time as the characters, props, location design and audio recording. The dialogue, backgrounds, action notes, and characters are included. A storyboard is a visual representation of all the scenes and actions contained in the script. The storyboard, which is created by the storyboard artist from the script, is also common to all types of projects. Finally, characters, props and locations will be designed from all of the descriptions contained in the script. This same script is used as a dialogue for the audio recording. The script is needed in order to transform the project into a storyboard. It contains all the information necessary for the artists to illustrate and animate the movie or series. A script usually contains the storyline, location descriptions, actions, dialogue, sound effects, etc.

It is the source for all the upcoming steps. You will encounter a script in many different types of projects such as movies, television series, video games and advertisements. A script is the written version of a project done by a screenwriter. Pre-production almost always follows these steps: ScriptĮvery project starts with a script or a synopsis.
