So, you’ve decided to journey through the land of animation production?
Timbuktoons and the Masters of the Pipeline are here to see you thru safely to your destination!
Join us as we travel thru the depths of the Development Jungle, climb the Cliffs of Pre-Production, hike the Plains of Production trail, and face the Bog of Post-Production Beasts.
Development
Say hello to the Development Guru: Progressum Instruo. He’s a wise sage who’s here to guide you thru the tangled land of developing your idea, determining a budget, and mapping out a schedule.
His special powers and years of battle-tested development techniques will help you on your journey thru the Development Jungle.
Pre-Production
Next, witness the technical and creative genius of the Pre-Production Super Ninja: Labora Artifex.
Highly trained in pre-production visdev art techniques, she masterfully designs any character, background, storyboard, or animatic needed to successfully take you to your next stop on the animation pipeline.
Production
Now, we introduce you to the Production Cyborg: Medio Tekhnol. Half-man and half-machine, he animates for hours on end.
Fueled by his built-in coffee brewing system and his passion for bringing characters to life he pushes thru the Plains of Production hike.
Post-Production
Finally, hailing from the Beasts of the Bog tribe, meet the Post-Production Beast: Bestia Fieras.
He may look a bit frightening but he’s your animation’s biggest ally and a master render wrangler, musician, and delivery warrior.
Though your project adventure may look daunting, these Action Heroes of Animation are ready to serve as you courageously trek along the animation path and become one of the Masters of the Pipeline!
