Establish the Vision:I. Purpose – establish the purpose of creating the piece. II. Determine your audience - where and how will you present the piece, and what desired effect do you wish to obtain from its viewers? III. Budget – examine all the elements of pre production, production, and post production costs, and plan to execute them within a certain budget. IV. Time – plan and expect to allow for time for your piece to improve and evolve. Quick productions (or fast turn-arounds) cost more in the end, and the quality often suffers. Pre Production:I. Script – creating a detailed script that includes audio, video and graphical cues to accomplish the goal of the desired piece making sure everybody involved is in agreement that it is what they want and expect. II. Timeline – creating a detailed timeline for production (filming, recording, etc…) days. III. Locations –scouting one or various locations appropriate for filming the piece. IV. Assembling a crew – production usually requires more than a few people to set up and run various pieces of equipment such as lighting and cameras. We’ll assemble the crew that is right for your project. Production:The pre production stage is very important for how smoothly the actual production goes. With good planning in the pre production stage, we can now begin to produce the piece. We’ll shoot, capture, and record all the scenes that have been laid out in the script and that are within the budget. Production can last anywhere from days to months depending on the size and budget of the project. Post Production:Once all the principal filming and recording is completed, the director will then work side by side with the editor to begin editing the footage together. A rough first cut of the piece will then be reviewed by the client and also the animators and/or graphic specialists will begin to develop ideas for additional effects, if applicable. Sound and music is later added, and after a final cut is decided upon, the piece will be sent for final formatting and color matching.
