How is the animation implemented?

The implementation of an animation video is a step-by-step process that combines both artistic creativity and technical skills and expertise. High-quality and purposefully executed animation also requires experience and expertise to utilize the best and most effective practices.

The production process is not limited to just creating visual elements; it also includes in-depth planning and strategic thinking, which greatly affects the final result.

1. Design and script

Design and Script

Before creating the animation, it is important to define the project’s objectives and target audience. In the scripting phase, the story upon which the production is based is written. This includes the overall story, key events, and details of the events. Additionally, the core message of the animated video is planned, and a more detailed message to be conveyed at each stage is defined. The planning phase can also involve research into what similar 2D animations have successfully communicated.

2. Creating a pre-visualization version of the animation or drafting a storyboard

Creating a Previsualization Version or Storyboard

A storyboard is a visual plan that outlines the key scenes of an animated video. It typically consists of a series of sketches or frames of the narrative, also marking dialogues and possible sound effects. The storyboard helps to visualize what will happen in the final production, serving as a guide for the animator during the production phases.

Thanks to modern and efficient animation tools, creating a storyboard is not always necessary. After the design and script, one can immediately start creating a rough version of the animation, thus gaining a better understanding of what the final result might look like.

4. Animation

Animation

The animation phase is the most essential part of the entire production process, where visual elements are brought to life as moving content. This phase requires both artistic ability and technical skill, and it involves several steps and techniques.

The core of the animation process is the determination of keyframes. Keyframes are crucial points on the timeline that depict significant movements, the position or posture of objects, the temporal visual representation of details, form, or orientation. Additionally, keyframes are used to define the position of a character's limbs at each moment when creating character animation, or the expressions of the characters. The animator creates keyframes at specific moments, and the animation software automatically interpolates the in-between movements between these keyframes. This means that the animator does not have to draw each frame individually, but the program creates the natural motion based on the keyframes.

Tweening (short for "in betweening") is the creation of movements between keyframes. This can be hand-drawn or automated tweening used by software, which makes transitions smoother. The goal of tweening is for the animation to feel more "alive" and less artificial. Automated tweening can save the animator time and effort, but in many situations, hand-drawn tweening provides more creative control.

5. Sound design

Animation Sound Design

Sound design is an essential part of the production process, consisting of several important elements, such as music, sound effects, and, if necessary, the narrator's speech. These elements of sound design together create a comprehensive experience and enhance the storytelling of the animation.

Music is a key factor in creating atmosphere and enhancing the visual content. It can be either original music specifically composed for the production or licensed music, and the selection or creation of it must take into account the style, tempo, and mood of the animation. It is crucial that the music is timed and synchronized with the various events in the animation to effectively support the visual narrative.

Sound effects, on the other hand, enhance the impact of the visual elements and actions. Carefully chosen sound effects improve the viewer's experience and make the animation more engaging.

Sound effects can be produced in various ways, such as recording natural sounds or utilizing sound libraries and using digital sound editing.

Additionally, voice-over narration can be used in animated videos, deepening and enriching the content of the animation. The quality, clarity, and rhythm of the narrator's voice are key in this process. The work of voice actors, including timing and intonation, significantly affects how well the speech supports the story of the animation. It is also important that the content of the spoken speech aligns closely with the animation so that the narration feels smooth and natural.

Price of animation

Generally speaking, the production of an animation video is a more cost-effective option compared to traditional filmed video production or 3D animation.

The length and complexity of the animation directly affect its price. Long or detailed animations require more working hours. The more precise and complex the animation desired, the more time and resources will be needed to implement it. A simpler and more streamlined approach is usually cheaper, but it can still be just as effective as a more complex style.

Animating characters is always more challenging than moving simpler objects. Simple characters are easy to implement, but animating more complex and detailed characters requires significantly more work. For animating more detailed characters, a so-called "skeleton" or rig is needed, which allows the character's movements. This rigging process itself requires a considerable amount of additional work hours. For each facial feature, limb, finger, and joint, animatability must be defined in the rig. Additionally, all these details still need to be animated.

A professional partner in animation execution helps define what can be done with each budget – and what is ultimately the most sensible approach from the message's perspective. Often, the most effective method is not the most expensive one.

Examples of the prices for the most common animations we implement:

What kind of partner is needed for the implementation of the animation?

A good partner knows how to tell before the project starts how to get the best possible benefit from the budget at hand.

A good partner must have technical expertise and a visual vision to achieve the best possible outcome.

A good partner can provide a binding euro amount offer and a precise schedule for production even before starting production.

A good partner has good clients and references.

When selecting a partner for the implementation of animation, there are several important factors to consider. It is not always advisable to choose the cheapest possible partner, but rather a partner who can achieve the most effective possible outcome within the selected budget. Saving on the production of animation, but not meeting the set objectives actually calls the entire investment into question.

A good partner has implemented animation videos for a variety of different clients across diverse industries. Ideally, the potential partner should have also created technically very different productions – from simplified graphical presentations to detailed, technically demanding animations. This way, the partner has the widest possible range of means to create the animation production that suits your company best.

Generally, the long experience of the selected collaboration partner in animation helps refine practices and techniques to an optimal level.

A good partner knows how to determine an exact euro price and a binding schedule for production even before starting the production process. Long and extensive experience as well as quality project management are key factors to stay within the chosen budget and ensure production is completed on time.

A good partner must be easily approachable and communicate clearly. You do not need to be an animation professional, but a good partner should be able to clearly and justifiably present the most sensible and effective solutions from the beginning to the end of the project if necessary. A good partner should also not 'fall in love with their work' but be willing to make the changes you desire – no matter how radical they may be. Of course, it is always essential to remember that the best possible outcome is achieved.

By carefully selecting a partner, you ensure that the outcome is high quality and meets the set objectives.
