Design Process
Timeline
Choose the category (motion or illustration). There are only 3 stages but definitely they help with smooth communication
(for now, on mobiles, try to scroll up/down outside the component - You can do in on the navigation bar on top)
Stage Details
1st Stage
Motion Design: Storyboard
– one proposal for a set of static images (keyframes) based on a client’s script.
– preparing a storyboard presentation (+ dividing on scenes if needed) with keyframes based on the client’s script, include several music track proposals
– email communication or online meetings
Illustration: Proposals
– inspirations,
– at most 3 pencil sketch proposals,
– eventual references,
– email communication, on-line meetings
Interactive Animation: Phases
– one proposal for a set of static images to show how the animation will work
– preparing a presentation with each phase
– email communication, on-line meetings
2nd Stage
Motion design: Primary Motion
– final touch and splitting key frames on layers, setting on timeline
– animating on the level of primary elements (e.g. camera or major elements movement) with low-quality movement, working on the pace and dynamics of the outcome video
– email communication or online meetings
Illustration: Outline
– pencil black outline of the best proposal,
- eventual corrections/changes,
- colour swatches
– email communication, on-line meetings
Interactive Animation: Testing
– basic interactivness to show if it's working with eventual corrections/changes
– basic animations with low-quality movement
– email communication, on-line meetings
3rd Stage
Motion Design: Final Video
– refining the video by adding secondary animations (e.g. swaying trees under the influence of wind in the background), high-level dynamic movement
– refining the video by adding secondary animations (e.g. swaying trees under the influence of wind in the background), high-level dynamic movement
– improvement of eventual corrections/changes from prevous stage
– email communication or online meetings
Illustration: Final Illustration
– finished illustration
– textures, colours, shadows
– adding textures, colours, shadows
– target size
– email communication, on-line meetings
Interactive Animation: Final Component
– final interactivness with eventual corrections/changes
– adding data and secondary animated elements
– email communication, on-line meetings

Price Range
When You would like to receive a price range (via email) here's the caption to it. Remember that You can decide which way we'll go but in many cases the your script/brief will tell how much my services will cost (we can try modify that brief/script). In the next step, after read the script or brief I'll prepare a precise price quote in PDF, like the example in the next section.
Precise Price Quote in PDF (example)
You will get the PDF with precise price quote and timetable like this below. For Illustration and Interactive Animation the doc is very simillar.
Notion Project Hub (examples)
When we start co-working, I'll give You an access to this hub with all information about out project in one place!

Brief Questionaries / Ordering
Ready to order a commission? Here is a few-step questionaire about required information which help me to prepare a price quote. Not every answer is required, but it always better to know more - you could save time and money for potencial corrections.
