What is the cycle to make an industrial animation?

Modeling, materials, lighting, etc., do industrial animation with high requirements. Mikani Animation is specialized in industrial animation, such as making an animation of 25 frames per second, 1 minute is 1500 frames, plus post-production and modification, generally ten days to half a month.

First of all, most of them are similar to renderings, which must be modeling, materials, lighting, etc., but many places for animation are much more demanding than renderings.

First of all, you can use PS to make renderings in the later stage, add background, add trees and grass, and all the animations can only be output in one step. The other is the rendering time, for example, if you do an animation of 20 frames per second, 3 minutes is 3600 frames, and then even if the effect is inferior, 2 minutes per frame, then the actual rendering time is 120 hours, if a frame in 10 minutes is 600 hours, and a frame in 1 hour is 3600 hours.

The rendering time of animation is terrifying, but for example, motion blur can be done with the Apple channel with AE, which can save an average of 3 1 time, as well as material baking, or use some AE effects.

Last time, I worked with Michani Animation, 2 minutes of animation, 3 days to finish, after the change, to hand in the project for more than a week, the efficiency is OK, the team's creative level is relatively high.

If the two-minute animation is required to watch the Micheini anime, which is generally completed in half a month or a month, you can learn more about their situation.

Plus post-production and revision, generally ten days to half a month.

Rendering takes a lot of time, depending on the customer's needs, and the rest of the process, if it's a regular company, it's pretty much the same.

Industrial animation is more complex, and if you want to do it well, it takes a long time to render it.

With the rise of marketing, the application of animation to product promotion has become an irreversible trend. If enterprises want to get the best and most effective publicity and promotion, product promotion animation is undoubtedly the best choice. In addition to caring about the best of animation, some customers pay more attention to the production cycle of animation.

For an animation work of about 3 minutes, the production cycle is generally 2-3 weeks, and the specific situation needs to be treated specifically. If you are in urgent need of animation products, the cycle can be shortened, about 7 days, so that copywriters, animation designers, and post-editors have to work overtime to catch up, so that the cost will be increased accordingly, about 10%, so this production cycle is still based on the needs of customers.

The process of MG animation production is complicated, and the production cycle is also determined according to the link

1. Establishment of animation copywriting.

There are two forms of animation copywriting, one is voiceover copywriting. Its picture production is generally carried out in conjunction with copywriting. The other is to match the content of the picture with relevant text to help the interpretation of the content.

Whether it is a copywriter who guides the production of the picture or a copywriter who assists the expression of the picture, it will have a great impact on the final product, such as the team of Lingzhi Animation Production Company attaches great importance to the role of copywriting.

2. The design of the storyboard script.

Storyboard is a way to express the creator's idea in pictorial language and visualize the shot. As a preset blueprint for animation, character and scene design, frame-by-frame production, and post-editing and dubbing are all script-based. The professional product promotion animation production team attaches great importance to the role of storyboard scripts, as the basis for formal creation, which is also a program display to customers, and only when both parties understand and recognize each other can they obtain satisfactory finished products in the end.

3. Formal animation production.

In the formal creation process of product promotion animation production, the product promotion animation production team needs to first draw characters, graphics and scenes, which is mainly achieved by using illustrator and photoshop tools. In addition to the picture material, the creation of sound includes three aspects: dubbing, **, and sound effects. After that, the storyboards, drawings and sound footage were used for animation using the compositing software Afftereffects and the editing software Premiere.

4. Editing in the later stage of animation.

In the production process of product promotion animation, the post-editing is mainly to grasp the rhythm of the picture, and whether the painting and sound are synchronized is the focus of the inspection.

The cycle of making product animations, the first thing to be clear is the production quality and content capacity, with these two dimensions, plus the amount of funds, the final evaluation of the cycle.

At present, children's animation can be used as a basic quality standard, Guoman as a quality standard, animated films as a quality standard, the production cycle of the three is quite different, from 6 months to 24 months (or even longer) It is possible.

It's a conservative production watch, and the quality is not the best.

For example, a cartoon with 5 characters is definitely shorter than a cartoon with 10 characters, and a scene with only one compound is definitely shorter than the production cycle of an urban scene. The more special effects an animation has, the more time it takes in post-rendering and production. The more detail there is in the beam, the more content is produced and the longer the cycle is.

Therefore, the creation of animation takes longer than that of live-action shooting, and there are more production links that need to be taken into account, so don't complain that animation works are not good or bad, there are many reasons for the final presentation.

Generally speaking, the animation production cycle is divided into four steps, and the time schedule of different enterprises is similar, according to the production experience of Lingzhi Animation Company, the steps are as follows:

1. It takes about one to five days to solicit ideas, which is an indispensable step.

Second, it also takes one to five days to communicate with customers, and the specific implementation stage also needs to be divided.

3. Post-production takes the longest time, at most half a month, and after these are completed, it must be confirmed again, this can be completed within a week.

Fourth, the last job is to provide the finished product to the customer, which will be completed in three days.

In fact, it's just a general animation! It's just that it is painted according to the specific specifications and requirements of the industry, and it is divided into more detailed ......

According to the completion time, add two to three months, counting the first review. However, since this one has won an award, it should not be a big problem to review.

Then look at the schedule, it's August now, and it should generally appear in the first half of next year. If the TV schedule is full, it may be squeezed into the second half of next year.

If it's too late, it's something else. However, theoretically, it is only possible to advance, and it is impossible to postpone it, if the first part has high ratings.

Most likely it should be winter vacation or summer vacation, which is the old rule of the animation channel. I just don't know if it's changed now.
