3D animation
Creating 3D animated films offers a powerful and engaging way to tell stories and convey emotions. Whether you want to create an immersive cinematic experience, a short film, or an explanatory animation, I guide you through every step to bring your ideas to life. Considering your objectives, the desired visual style, and the narrative universe you wish to create, I apply my skills to your project to develop impactful and visually striking animations.
Preparatory Work
1 - Listening and Briefing :
The first step is to clearly understand the client's needs and objectives. We discuss the storyline, the visual universe, the animation style, the characters and elements to include, as well as the final use of the cinematic. This helps define the specifications and frame the artistic direction.
2 - Storyboard Development :
Once the foundations are set, I create a storyboard to visually translate the main actions and transitions of the animation. It serves as an essential guide to visualize the flow of the scene, frame the sequences, and validate the pacing with the client.
Production
3 - 3D Modeling :
I then proceed to model the characters, objects, and backgrounds necessary for the animation. Each element is designed with care to ensure optimal quality in the final rendering. Some new technologies enable the creation of procedural 3D generation tools, allowing for greater variations and significant time savings. The preparation for animation (rigging, etc.) is also carried out at this stage.
4 - Texturing, Lighting, and Staging :
This step involves visually enhancing each element to add depth and realism to the scenes. The style of materials is applied (realistic, simplified, cartoon, etc.) and highlighted by specific lighting that fits the desired atmosphere. At this stage, the appearance and rendering are presented to the client for approval.
5 - Scene Animation :
Based on the storyboard, I animate the scenes by defining the movements and actions according to the script's indications and the desired style (realistic, stylized, etc.). This phase includes synchronizing the elements to achieve a smooth flow between the sequences.
Delivery
6 - Rendering and Animation Testing :
I generate high-quality renders to replace each thumbnail in the storyboard with a final render image, and create a simplified preview of the animation to ensure that the movements, effects, and transitions work harmoniously and meet expectations.
7 - Revisions and Adjustments :
En fonction des retours du client, j’effectue les ajustements nécessaires pour parfaire l'animation. Cela peut inclure des changements de rythme, des détails dans les mouvements, ou des modifications d'apparance et d'éclairage.
8 - Finalization and Export :
After approval, I assemble the sequences and special effects, refine the final details, and proceed with the final render. I export the cinematic in the required video formats or files for its intended use.
9 - Post-Project Follow-Up :
I offer follow-up support to address any potential needs for minor adaptations, additions, or specific modifications for other uses.
