Once
the animatics stage had been crossed, all the various departments
met and gave their inputs to help improve the film. The same
were incorporated into the storyboard which had by then become
much tighter.
The next step before we began with production was, formal meetings
and approvals. Everyone right from the Agency, to the Amaron
representatives were shown the final storyboard along with the
animatics and we took in their inputs and suggestions. Any changes,
whatsoever were possible and more convenient to make in the
pre production stages.
This
was followed by a meeting in which we planned the production,
where we shared the final storyboard with the entire crew (the
cinematographer, miniature set creator, production controller,
model-makers, animation director) to plan the production/budgets/timelines,
etc.
