FAQ
Can you help if I only have an idea?
Absolutely. I can assist from the earliest stages of production, including concept development, storyboarding, animatics, visual development, character design, and production planning before moving into animation.
Will the animation be fully hand-drawn?
Yes, all of the animations that you are paying for, are FULLY hand-drawn, frame-by-frame, according to your needs.
How long does a project take?
Every project is different. Delivery time depends on the complexity, animation length, and production requirements. I'll provide a realistic schedule before we begin.
What software will you use to create my animations?
I'll use TVPaint, Krita, Photoshop and/or Procreate, depending on your project needs.
Can you animate characters that are already designed?
Yes. If you already have character designs or a storyboard, I can animate them. If you don't, I can also help develop those assets before production begins.
Why should I contact you before ordering?
Every animation project is unique. Contacting me first allows us to discuss your goals, timeline, budget, and technical requirements so I can recommend the best approach and provide an accurate custom offer.
