Great animation is a supply chain — here is ours, station by station.
Why this matters
Great animation is a supply chain — here is ours, station by station. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.
Key takeaways
- Script and boards live in one shared doc; version history is law
- Style frames export with color codes and layer discipline
- Animation imports boards as timing reference, never redraws blind
- Sound design starts at animatic, not at delivery
- Renders flow through a naming contract that automation can parse
By the numbers
30% — of pre-production hours saved last year by pipeline discipline alone.
The takeaway
Craft gets the applause; the pipeline gets the work.
