THE PROCESS

How do we produce animated films?

We have produced films successfully with tight deadlines. The typical production time for a medical film will be around 2-3 months. However, most projects aren't so typical, so feel free to present us with your challenges. We are confident we can find a solution.

The road ahead is a collaboration of our clients and ourselves. We will always point out the crucial moments in the production, so our client can decide when to get involved.  We, as a studio, will always go through the following steps.

Begin

Starting with a kick-off meeting

Creating an animated film is a collaborative process. We will start once we truly know your goals. You might learn new opportunities which would work even better.

Scriptwriting

We create several drafts to get to the final blueprint of the film. We cut or add to balance out the focus on different elements in the movie.

Design

With a good idea of how we will present the story, we create a design that fits with the story and goals of the client.

Asset Creation, production

Once the design has been approved, we create 3d models of all the players involved in the story. We are talking about 3d models of cells, proteins, etc.

Animatic

All the created assets make it possible to create the first animated iteration of the film. It tells the story but still lacks beauty. Just like with a storyboard, an animatic gives a better idea of what the film will be.

Voice-over recording

With the animatic finished, it is time to select a voice-over that strenghtens the impact of the story. The voice-over plays a big part in defining the tone and mood of the film. Up till this phase we used a temporarily placeholder voice-over.

Rendering | Processing

After several iterations of the animatic, we send the created data to a render farm. The data will be computed, and beautiful imagery will be generated from the raw 3d scenes.

Post-production

In the final phase; everything comes together; sound, images, voice, and titles. We only need to create variations of the film, so our clients can use them on their chosen platforms.

The finished film

At the end of the line, we end with a beautiful film. As long as we take every step with care, the whole process will be a smooth experience. The film will be delivered in different formats for online or live presentations. With all the assets made, optionally, we can create more illustrations for other purposes.

Our keys to successful client relationships

We listen

By deeply getting to know you, knowing your goals and needs,  we will create a suitable plan which will paint a clear picture of what to expect along the way. We will help uncover what is essential and create beautiful transparent films to present your story to your audience.

Confidence

We offer you the confidence that you won't waste your time overexplaining us. We can dive into the research ourselves due to our profound experience in the medical industry.

Proactive instead of reactive

By communicating and working proactively, we hope to give our clients peace of mind and room to focus on other aspects of their work.  You can choose the amount of involvement you would like to have, and we will adjust our plan accordingly.

Fluidity

Sometimes, end goals change along the way. We offer flexibility as much as possible and inform you ahead of time when your feedback is needed most.

Inspire

An animated film should do more than sum up information. A story is a way to inspire people and believe in your mission. We’re always striving to exceed each client’s expectations. We love exploring ideas and designs to find the one thing that helps films become memorable.
