2. Script & Concept: Next, a concept is developed and turned into a script, ensuring the message is presented simply and effectively.
3. Mood Board & Storyboard: Mood boards and storyboards are created to visualize how the script will unfold scene by scene.
4. Style & Illustrations: Custom, full-color visuals are designed to give a clear idea of the final video's look.
5. Voice Over: The best-suited voice talent is selected to complement the video.
6. Animation: This phase brings the script and storyboard to life through animation.
