How do I decide on the animation style for my project?
Think about the mood and message you want to convey. Look at examples of animations you like, and consider if they match your project’s goals. Consider whether you need 2D or 3D animation, or something different. Talking with your animator about your vision will help.
How can I ensure the animator understands my project goals?
Provide a detailed brief outlining your project goals and expectations. Include any specific visual elements or animation styles you want. Be sure to discuss everything in your first meeting with the animator. Regular check-ins will also help clarify any doubts.
What should be included in the project scope for an animator?
The scope should outline all deliverables, timelines, and any revisions. Specify the animation length, style, and any specific scenes or characters. Agree on the number of revisions allowed without extra payment. Make sure both parties understand and agree before starting.
How do I agree on a production schedule with my animator?
Start by discussing the overall time frame for the project. Break down the schedule into phases, such as concept creation, storyboard approval, and final animation. Be realistic about time needed for each part to avoid rushing. Agree on deadlines together.
What are the best ways to provide feedback on animation drafts?
Give clear, specific feedback using examples or timestamps in the animation. Focus on what works and what needs improvement. Written feedback can be helpful, but a quick call or meeting might be clearer. Remember to be polite and constructive.
How often should I communicate with my animator during the project?
Regular communication helps keep the project on track. Weekly check-ins can prevent misunderstandings and ensure progress. If any issues arise, don’t wait too long to address them. Decide on a method, like email or video calls, that works for both of you.
What cultural aspects should I consider when working with an animator from Catalonia?
