At BrainForest Digital, (www.brain4est.com) everything you need to test your idea is provided, from artwork to music, even to creative input and help in refining your concept.

When do animatics become necessary?
If you have a concept that you want to test out in front of an audience before you sink thousands of dollars into an expensive shoot, animatics are definitely a must. Animatics are also necessary as a production "blueprint" that can assist you with the full-up production stage in the future. Many animatics are matched shot-for-shot with the final commercial. BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com) works closely with you to ensure that you get your money's worth, with an animatic that can test well in front of an audience, and continue to be useful in production. To learn more about where animatics fit into productions, visit www.aboutanimatics.com.

What kind of artwork do I need for producing animatics?
Choosing an artist for a project can be a daunting task. Some animatic companies want you to have an artist selected before they will begin production.
If you like, BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com) can produce all the artwork that you need for your animatics. BrainForest Digital has hundreds of artists on call to produce virtually any style of art you want. BrainForest Digital also offers computer generated art, such as HyperReal^TM, a process for generating realistic 3D figures created by BrainForest Digital.
Of course, if you'd prefer to handle the art yourself, you can hire your own artist, or BrainForest Digital will work with preexisting artwork, photographs, or video.
However you choose to produce your artwork, make sure to go with a company like BrainForest Digital that works closely with the artists to provide a more coherent product.

Should animatics take more than a week to produce?

Should animatics take a lot of money to produce?
If you choose to work with a company that does not specialize in producing animatics, you'll probably pay for it in the long run. Few companies will work within your budget constraints to help you produce the best possible animatics while still leaving money in the budget for your actual final production. BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com) is one of those few. They have been helping clients with tight budgets for over 10 years.

Can I produce my own animatics?
It depends on the facilities available to you. Some agencies have the necessary equipment to produce animatics in house, but even if you do have the equipment, animatics can be very complicated to produce. If you don't know what you're doing, producing your own animatics can end up being very costly indeed. To get your animatics done quickly and professionally, it's best to deal with an expert, like BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com).
back to top

Should animatics be produced in house?
While producing animatics in house may seem like it could save you money, in most cases it's actually more cost-effective to hire a company that specializes in animatic production, like BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com). You might be able to shave a few dollars off at the outset by producing animatics on your own equipment, but in the long run, you will probably end up with an inferior animatic at a higher price. BrainForest Digital is equipped to handle animatics quickly and professionally, at a rate competitive to what it would cost to do it yourself.
back to top

Who is qualified to produce animatics?
Some agencies produce animatics in house. Other agencies choose to go with production companies that offer animatics in addition to other services, but may not specialize in animatics. While choosing to go with either of these options may seem more convenient at the outset, the headaches that arise when working with a department or company that is not qualified to produce animatics can be great in number and magnitude. Although doing animatics in house may seem like the cheaper, easier option, consider this: companies that specialize in animatics, like BrainForest Digital (www.brain4est.com) have the experience and the inside knowledge to go beyond the limits of traditional animatics. They can offer techniques that end up saving you more time and money then you could doing it on your own.
