About this service

Summary

I can offer cartoon or realistic 3D animations with impeccable acting, visually appealing and entertaining for all ages.

Process

The Customer will describe to me his project and his desired vision for the animation via video call or message. The Customer will specify the software and other unique feature for the project (animation style, format, number of frames per second, etc.) I recommend that the client prepare in advance a PDF file or any other written document that will serve as a guideline for their project. The Customer will also provide the 3D scene with the relevant audio, asset & characters needed for the animation.
If not provided by the customer, I will suggest a rough storyboard and a list of potential relevant videos references that the customer will select or comment on until there is no doubt left about what he/she wants.
I start the animation process and show the customer a first Blocking Pass (animation with only the main poses). This Blocking can be modified and readjusted before moving on to the next step. But once validated by the customer, no further drastic changes can be made to the animation.
(optional) I deliver a second version of the Blocking pass, this time with some breakdowns, more secondary poses and a better sense timing.
I deliver the Spline Animation which will be review by the customer and readjusted on my part until its complete validation.

FAQs

  • Will you create/provide the 3D Model ?

    No. Although I have some skills in modeling and rigging, I'm mainly an animator and feel more comfortable in this domain. The customer himself must create a rig or obtain one online and send it to me.

  • How long will it take ?

    It depends on many factors : the animation style, the number of characters to animate, the duration of the shots etc. But generally speaking, a 10s shot can take up to 2-3 weeks.
