Your Project Lifecycle
The Stepico 2D animation production company has developed a transparent and streamlined approach for crafting 2D character design that brings your vision to life. We guarantee smooth gameplay and optimum implementation by utilizing our knowledge of industry-leading gaming engines, programming languages, and tools. The quality of your game is among our top priorities, so we make sure to fine-tune your project to its maximum.
Pre-production
This very first stage of custom animations development is essentially a brainstorming where the Stepico team has face-to-face sessions with our client. We must understand your vision, goals, and the story style of the future game. In this step, we also create a clear and effective animation strategy.
Storyboarding
At this stage, we create a detailed grid called a storyboard with roughly designed sketches and images. This approach helps to make sure that we are on the same page because no matter how technologically advanced your project is, we should first create a solid backbone for 2D character design.
Animation development
Once the storyboards have been approved, our 2D animation experts start working on crafting high-quality 2D animation. This is the longest and the most iterative stage, where they work with modern software tools and create appealing characters, environments, and prop animations.
Post-production
After the animation production stage, we refine all the work to get a crisper, brighter, and final version of the 2D animation. We go over the storyboard to make sure the animation is produced as intended and totally fit for use. We also change the composition and illumination, if needed.
Final delivery
We deliver the high-quality 2D animation to you to collect your last comments as we finish it. We constantly pay close attention to your requests and, should changes be required, follow your directions. Our first focus is ultimately customer pleasure.
