We are discussing what should be animated. What are the targets and goals of the animation? How should the product or service be shown? What is the target audience? Where will this animation be displayed? If you have no ideas and script, and you give me the freedom creativity, so let's go to the next point.

I provide my ideas, what and how will move and happen on the screen. I show a sketch storyboard.

It is hard to understand at once which color palette to choose for the background and objects. In this case I provide a clean storyboard drawn in Photoshop in different colors. And you choose what you prefer.

The storyboard is accepted and I begin preparing. I prepare attributes for the shooting process. I work with paper, clay, and cotton. Cut elements, glue models, clay characters and ets. It takes some long time.

The animation process includes preparing the setup for filming: setting the light and the camera, finding the right angle for filming, preparing the scene and laying out the attributes, setting up the camera and directly shooting the stop motion.

Is the sequencing of all filmed creative chaos into a movie. Creation of compositions from captured frames, editing of timing, cleaning frames from rigs, chroma key, color correction, sound overlay.

You need to understand that stop motion is not CG animation, but animation with real objects. And therefore it will not be possible to change what we agreed on during the storyboarding stage. Edits can relate to sounds, timing (if filmed a little more than planned), some minor details, text, logo.

I am sending you the final video. You pay for my work under the contract. On orders with a large budget, I work on a 50% prepayment.
