Fundamentals #4: Pre-Production
When you’re doing any A/V work, be it for radio ads, TV commercials, or even personal animation projects, there are a few steps that come before you jump into the actual programs or head out with a camera. These steps, known as the preproduction process, help you nail your idea and do testing before you actually spend the time and money getting all the media you need. Today, I’ll be going over the entire preproduction process for a video, from idea to animated storyboards.
