So I’ve recently released my 3rd animated short film Tasteful, and I thought I’d make a video showing all the steps behind making an 3D animated short film, from start to finish and explain them as simply as I can, so that even if you’re not from the animation or visual effects industry you’ll get an idea of what it takes to make an animated movie.

Steps:
1) Story (00:25)
2) Script (00:48)
3) Concept Art (01:10)
4) Storyboard (01:32)
5) Animatic (01:55)
6) Modeling (02:30)
7) Rigging (02:51)
8) Previs (03:38)
9) Animation (04:25)
10) Texturing (05:10)
11) Lighting (05:25)
12) Rendering (05:40)
13) Editing (06:12)
14) Color correction & Grading (06:29)
15) Music & Sound design (07:10)

    The collaboration between the creation of the film and the music has always left me baffled. I work in the industry as a 3D-Modeler, Supervisor and I do understand the creative process in the pre-production, I love writing ideas, stories etc. myself. But the ongoing collaboration of film & music throughout the production is somewhat magical to me. I would be interested in knowing how this interlocks on a daily base and how you go on it in the creative process.
