Learning Objective
I can describe the main stages of the DreamWorks animation pipeline, including storyboarding, visual development, and editing.
- 1
The animation pipeline begins with the story department, where ideas are developed into a script and then visualized through storyboards.
- 2
The art department creates the visual look of the film, while the modeling department builds the characters and environments in three dimensions.
- 3
After animation, the effects and matte painting departments add details like explosions, weather, and backgrounds, and the lighting department enhances the mood and emotion of each scene.
