An Animated Film

The stages of an animated film are even more difficult to distinguish, as the entire film is computer-generated, the line between production and postproduction is not so clear.

During preproduction, all aspects of the film are planned and designed as usual, but then production and postproduction tend to overlap because every aspect of these stages happens in the 3D software. Usually, it’s easier to divide the stages, with production creating the action (developing characters, sets, and animation), and postproduction creating the effects such as water, splashes, particles, cloth, dust, smoke, fire, explosions and other simulations. Then, the final compositing will bring all these diverse elements together.
