What is the Process of Working with an Animation Company?

Why Businesses Ask About the Process? For many businesses, creating an animation video feels exciting but also a little mysterious. A common question we hear is: “What is the process of working with an animation company?”

Understanding the steps helps you plan your project, budget time, and know what to expect.

Typical Animation Video Production Process

Here’s a clear breakdown of how we guide clients from idea to finished video:

  1. Kickoff Meeting
    • We discuss your goals, audience, preferred animation style and budget.
    • This sets the foundation for the entire project.
  2. Scriptwriting
    • Our team works with you to identify key messages and craft a compelling script.
    • The script is always reviewed and approved before moving forward.
  3. Character Development & Visual Style
    • If your video includes characters or branded visuals, we design them to match your tone and brand identity.
  4. Creative Brief (CB)
    • The script is broken into scenes with notes on visuals, transitions, and sound effects.
    • This document ensures clarity before production begins.
  5. Illustrated Storyboard
    • A scene-by-scene visual draft showing how your story will unfold.
    • You’ll have the chance to review and request revisions.
  6. Voiceover Recording
    • We audition professional voice talents and you select your favourite.
    • Once approved, the script is recorded in high quality.
  7. Animation Production
    • Our team brings the storyboard to life with motion, colour, sound, and music.
    • You’ll see a draft for feedback before final delivery.
  8. Final Delivery
    • The completed video is delivered in MP4 format (and other formats if required).
    • Optimized for websites, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and internal platforms.

Why the Process Matters

A clear, structured process ensures:

  • No surprises in timeline or budget.
  • Plenty of opportunities for feedback and revisions.
  • A final product that matches your vision and goals.
