Each of us have our strengths, but as a group, we’ve become pretty balanced in terms of jumping in and around our production line. We’re able to pick up where others left off as they move on to other notes on the list or a different ongoing project. It’s pretty organic. We’ll collectively think of ideas, and as a group, hone in on the few that we want to explore further. We continue the process until we’ve all landed on a cohesive idea and technique that we’re digging.
A script or outline is written, storyboards are made, style boards are constructed, sets are built, wardrobe is chosen, live action is shot, keying and rotoscope work is applied, edits begin, compositing and VFX commences, animation is created, compositing is composited, and final coloring is finished. With the eight of us and our shared skill sets, we can do most all of this in-house.
A lot of the time, we’re the background talent in all of our internal work. We’re cheap and we’re usually available.
