Animated films: pre-production

Pre-production is an essential preparation phase for the production of an animated film.

Pre-production consists of designing all the elements needed to produce the film. The screenwriting will develop the story scene by scene, defining the character’s features and settings from the directors initial idea.

From the script, a storyboard is created and shows a visual breakdown of each shot in the film. The artistic direction will determine the design of the characters and sets and more generally, the graphic style of the film and its colorful settings.
