We love working on animation projects but need your assistance in keeping the process as streamlined as possible. Animations are very time consuming as they need to all be designed, timed, and rendered to the specifics of each script. It is critical that we sign off on each step of the development phase so that when we start the animation process, we all know exactly what is being created. That will keep us from having to start the project over multiple times.
<aside> ✅ Following this process allows us to meet your requested deadline. Any additional changes made after a stage is complete may result in a later completion date or additional charges.

<aside> ✅ Let us know what you’re thinking.

Fill out a project form in Backstage. The project form contains important questions that will help us gauge the scope of your project from the start. Think of this as our work order for your video, as it will provide us with the information needed to work through the project together.
Contact Lance Hougdahl, our animation lead at [email protected] to get started or to learn more about our animation options.
At this time, please let us know when you’d like to see the first proof and when the project needs to be completed. It’s also important to establish who all will need to sign off on proofs to keep the revision process as seamless as possible.
<aside> ✅ What do you want to say?

You do not need to worry about how the video is going to look at this point. Right now we just need to nail down what the message is. This is critically important in the animation process. Unlike video where we can quickly re-edit as needed, animations often need to be completely restarted if the messaging changes. Your message must be locked down and approved before any of the animation process can continue.
If you have ideas for visuals to go in the video, you can include them but that is not the main focus of this stage. If you need help curating a script, we can certainly help you make your message as clear and concise as possible.
