Pitch
The initial meeting is a comprehensive discussion about your overall concept. We delve into animation style preferences, budget considerations, and project deadlines. Once these aspects are agreed upon, we proceed with formalizing the agreement through contracts.
Pre Production
Following the initial meeting, we dive into the aesthetic element of your project. This involves building your animated world, starting from character designs to test animations. This phase is where the creative vision begins to take shape.
Production
The fun part begins! Whether it's stop motion or 2D animation, we get to work, bringing the inanimate to life and turning your creative vision into a dynamic reality.
Post Production
The completed animation undergoes post-production, where we add the finishing touches. This can include color correction, special effects, and other enhancements. Subsequently, every rendered shot is meticulously edited together to create the final product.
Will my budget and deadline fit into the animation?
Shed Thirty Six embraces the latest tools available that make production more cost- effective and time- efficient.
A notable program we use in the studio is Toon Boom Harmony.

Of course. This is very helpful as we'll have a visual representation of what you're looking for.

In conjunction with animation, the studio also provides illustrations and graphic designs.
Some clients may not want a full animation with characters and instead would like detailed illustrations and graphics provided for their project. Like animation, it is a process the studio enjoys and uses the same pipeline to deliver your desired illustrations and graphics.
Would you be open to new techniques that aren't demonstrated in your showreel?
Shed Thirty Six always prioritises flexibility. We're always open to a new aesthetic that the studio hasn't explored before.
