The Delivery Model

From Sketches to Screens

Here’s the process by which animation content is created, produced and distributed to audiences. It has come a long way since the early days of animation and we utilise the latest technology and techniques to deliver high-quality visuals and engaging stories.

Strategising

From assigning roles, budgeting, setting deadlines and crafting a compelling narrative, we’ve got you covered.

Conceptualisation

Animation will help you communicate the feel, tone, characteristics and aesthetics of your project in a way that words simply can’t.

Script-writing

A good script lays out all the key scenes, stage actions, character dialogues and expressions that are needed to create a cohesive and entertaining story.

Direction & Character Design

We’ll work with you to create a clear vision for the project and communicate it to the team. 

Storyboarding

A storyboard is a visual representation of the action and events that will take place in the animation. We will help you plan out each scene and make sure that the animation flows smoothly.

Animatics

It’s a great tool to determine the flow, editing and direction of a film before production begins.

Keyframing

This will help create animations that are fluid, natural and realistic.

 

We’ll have the ability to add personality to your animations and reflect your brand’s values through motion.

 

Background Layout

The background is one of the most important aspects to consider.

 

It will add scale, light, color and texture to a scene and help define the atmosphere. 

Lighting

Lighting has the power to make or break the final product.

 

We will work with you to create a lighting scheme that complements your animation.

Sound Design

With the right sound, animation comes alive and takes you on an unforgettable journey.

Colour Correction

These techniques are essential for creating a visually cohesive story that will leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Compositing & Final Revisions

We’ll take all the different pieces and make them look like they were always meant to be together.

Run-Through & Render

From sound, to dialogue, to editing, we’ll comb through every inch of the video to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The Economic Value of the UK’s VFX sector.

All of our screen sectors are killing it when it comes to tax reliefs! Not only did they all generate a return on investment, but they also brought in some serious extra cash for the economy. Film Tax Relief had the biggest impact, bringing in an extra £8.30 for every £1 of tax relief in 2019. That’s a 10.5% increase from 2017! High-end Television Tax Relief also did well, returning £6.44 for every £1 granted. 

 

Although, it did see a slight decrease from 2017. Animation and Children’s Television Tax Relief also had solid returns at £4.53 and £3.20 respectively. And last but not least, Video Games Tax Relief had a return of £1.72 in 2019. Pretty impressive, right? Check out the table for more details on these ROI’s.
