2ANIMATION PIPELINE
Introduction
The aim of the report is to describe the animation production workflows and about the
animation pipeline. With the help of animation pipeline it becomes easy to manage the
performance. The seven main processes that are associated with animation production include
kick-off, design, storyboard, animatic, production, feedback and sign off. The last stage is related
to final delivery and render.
Animation production workflows
Animation production workflows are referred to workflow through which a movie is
being produced. The animation pipeline is being divided into three stages irrespective of the
method. This includes the pre production, production and post production. In order to handle the
pre production matters harmony is being designed that focuses on production related objectives.
On the other hand with the help of an external application it becomes easy to manage the post
production process.

Pre production workflow
The pre production workflow is further divided into the different stages that include
scripting at first stage, then comes the process of creating the artists and characters with the use
of storyboard. After this the audio is being recorded based on the designed character. Next stage
is animatic and last stage is the sound breakdown and coloring and styling of background along
with proper prop and characters. Once all the stages are completed successfully the process
moves to production workflow.
