3D Animation – How It Works
All animation starts with an idea and a purpose. Whether you need a single character animated for a marketing campaign or an entire cast created for a full length feature, Funnybone Animation will work with you to create a custom production to help achieve your goals.
Step 1: Script & Storyboards
The script is the foundation of your project and lists all thoughts, actions, speech, and screenplay in written format. Professional voice actors are auditioned and cast for each character that has a speaking part.
A storyboard is a sequence of drawings that visualize your script. These drawings communicate camera angles, action, effects, and overall direction of each shot.
We are happy to work with your existing script and storyboards or we can develop them for you.
Step 2: Character Design
Characters are designed, modeled, texture-mapped, and rigged with dynamic animation controls to provide a virtually unlimited range of body movement, acting capabilities, and facial expressions.
Step 3: Animation
Your project comes to life as the characters are animated according to the voice tracks, script, and storyboards.
Step 4: Post Production
Visual effects, editing, sound effects, musical scoring, compositing, and color-correcting are done in post to put the finishing touches on your project.
Once complete, the full project can be downloaded or delivered on disc, flash drive, or hard drive.
