Creating animation is both art and craft - a blend of storytelling, design, and rhythm. At Meinart, every project follows eight essential steps that help transform an idea into a finished film. Our virtual cat will guide you through each stage - sometimes with humor, always with precision. Each step is a small story on its own, but together they form the magic of animation. Scroll through the process and see how ideas become moving worlds.

1. Idea / Script

Every great animation begins with a strong idea. Together with our clients, we develop stories that are clear, engaging, and emotionally resonant. The script defines everything that follows - tone, pacing, and visual direction.

2. Concept Art

Before animation begins, we explore the visual world of the project. Concept art sets the mood, color palette, and overall style - helping everyone see what the final piece might feel like.

3. Storyboard

The storyboard is where the story becomes visual. Shot by shot, we plan the rhythm, composition, and camera movement, creating a blueprint for the entire film.

4. Animatic / Sound Draft

Timing is everything. The animatic combines the storyboard with rough sound design and voice recordings to test pacing, transitions, and emotional flow before moving to full production.

5. Illustrations

Once the visual language is defined, our artists create final illustrations - characters, backgrounds, and every visual element that will appear on screen.

6. Voice Casting

A good voice gives life to a character. We carefully select and record professional voice actors who bring authenticity, humor, or emotion to the story.

7. Animation

This is where everything comes alive. Our animators meticulously bring movement, weight, and personality to each character, ensuring every frame feels intentional and alive.

8. Soundtrack

Finally, music and sound design complete the experience - enhancing emotion, rhythm, and atmosphere. The right sound transforms the film from good to unforgettable.

9. Final Animation

Ta-daa! The moment we’ve all been waiting for. All the pieces finally come together - visuals, voices, music, and motion unite into one complete story. The result? A finished animation that makes everyone smile (including our virtual cat). We deliver it in full quality, ready to shine on TV, online, or on the big screen. This is where the magic truly happens - the “ta-daa” moment of every project!
