FAQs

How can I describe my animation project well to find the right animator?

First, make a list of all the things you want in your animation. Think about the story, the style, and the length. Then, write it down in simple words. This helps the animator know what you need.

What should I include in the brief to make sure the animator understands my vision?

In the brief, share the story and characters you have in mind. Show examples of styles you like. Include any colors or themes that are important. This will help the animator know exactly what you want.

Why is it important to set a timeline for my animation project?

Setting a timeline makes sure the animator knows when you need the project done. It helps both of you plan better. Without a timeline, things might take longer than you want.

How can I decide what deliverables to agree on with an animator?

Think about what parts of the animation you need delivered. This could be storyboards, drafts, and the final video. Talk with the animator to make sure you both agree on what will be delivered.

What are storyboards, and why should they be part of the agreement?

Storyboards are like comic strips showing each scene of the animation. They help you see how the story will look before it’s made. Agreeing on storyboards means you can see that the animator is on the right track.

How can I set the right milestones for an animation project?

Milestones are like checkpoints during the project. Each milestone should have a small part of the work finished. This way, you can see how the work is going and make changes if needed.

Check-ins let you talk about how things are going. You can see the work progress and ask questions if you're confused. This helps both you and the animator stay on the right path.

How can feedback rounds improve my animation project?

Feedback rounds are chances to tell the animator what you like or don't like. It helps them make changes before the final version. Doing this can make the animation better and just like you dreamed.
