The Production Bible
What is it?
In most cases, animation is a collaborative process, with many different people all working towards producing one outcome – a film, a music video etc.
As the team moves through pre production, and into the production process, a series of crucial decisions must be formally made and “signed off” (Locked down) so that the various artists and technical staff hired to make content are given a clear well defined brief to work to.
The Production development file (or production bible) is a tool used to record and present key information to all people involved in making the film, its three main aims are
1) To keep the production on track in terms of schedule, and on budget.
2) To present a crystal clear record of the visual aspects of any character or motifs that are significant in the film.
3) To present the finalized storyboard as a “shot List” to help the editor begin the task of assembling the footage for editing.
