The heart of any great animation lies in its foundation—the pre-production stage. This is where imagination takes shape and storytelling begins. My process starts with scene design, crafting visually compelling environments that support the narrative and emotional tone. I then move into character design, carefully developing each figure’s appearance, personality, and visual language to align with the story’s world. Through detailed animation studies, I explore movement, timing, and behavior to ensure authenticity and style consistency. Finally, I focus on facial emotion design, capturing subtle expressions that bring characters to life and deepen audience connection. Each step is a collaborative fusion of art and storytelling, setting the stage for a captivating animated experience.
