Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a high-quality product animation? At AVID Integrated, we pride ourselves on our meticulous process that transforms your initial ideas into captivating 3D animations. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we bring your product to life, ensuring that every frame is crafted to perfection.
1. Initial Discussion of Project Requirements and Outcome
Every great animation starts with a conversation. We begin with an in-depth discussion to understand your project requirements, target audience, and the ultimate outcome you’re after. This initial dialogue is crucial as it sets the direction for the entire project, ensuring that all subsequent steps align with your vision.
2. Storyboard Generation and Instruction Document
With a clear brief in hand, we get to work crafting a detailed storyboard or instruction document. This serves as a visual blueprint for the animation, outlining the flow of scenes, key moments, and overall narrative. It’s our way of ensuring that everyone is on the same page right from the start.
3. Collection or Construction of 3D Models
Once the storyboard is approved, we move on to the 3D modelling phase. If you have existing 3D models we can use those as a starting point. From there we either collect existing assets or construct bespoke 3D models that accurately represent your product. This step is all about laying the foundation, ensuring that every model is detailed and ready for animation.
4. Draft of Animation – First Check of Sequences
With the models ready, we begin drafting the animation. This initial draft is all about putting together the first sequences based on the storyboard. It’s a rough cut that lets us see how the animation flows, highlighting any areas that may need tweaking or adjustment.
5. Second Draft – Re-checking Sequences and Materials
Feedback is a vital part of our process. After reviewing the first draft, we move on to a second iteration where we re-check sequences, refine materials, and fine-tune the overall look and feel. This stage is where we polish the animation, ensuring that every detail meets our high standards and aligns with your expectations.
6. Final Look, Feel, and Draft if Required
At this stage, we conduct a thorough review of the animation’s look and feel. If necessary, we produce a final draft that captures the perfect blend of visual aesthetics and narrative flow. This step guarantees that the animation is not only technically sound but also engaging and visually appealing.
7. Final Animation – With Call Outs, Music, and Voice Over
The finishing touches make all the difference. Once the animation is perfected, we integrate additional elements like call outs, music, and a professional voice over. These enhancements bring your product to life, creating an immersive experience that captivates your audience from start to finish.
In Conclusion
At AVID Integrated, our end-to-end process is designed to ensure that your product animation is nothing short of stunning. From the initial brainstorming session to the final production with immersive sound design, every step is carefully executed to deliver an animation that truly resonates with your audience.
