Behind the Scenes: Milk Delivery
Added 2025-06-05 18:21:27 +0000 UTCBefore I even started drawing and animating last month's "Milk Delivery" animated movie, there was a LOT of prep work that needed to be done first.
โข Write the script
โข Record voices
โข Draw storyboards
โข Research and download music
โข Research and download some sound effects
โข Bring all of the above together and make an animatic to get the base feel, pacing, and scope of the movie.
Google defines an animatic as: a rough, preliminary version of an animation or video, often including drawings or images, voiceover, and sound effects, that is used to test the pacing, timing, and overall flow of a sequence or project. It's a step between storyboarding and full animation or video production, helping filmmakers get a sense of what the final product will look and sound like.
Check out the animatic for Milk Delivery. You will notice some differences:
โข Early versions of voices (half were re-recorded or added to).
โข Music is inserted along with some sound effects.
โข Not all scenes are represented (a few new ones were inspired and added during the animation production).
โข Yes, the storyboards are very rough drawings (I was excited to get started without wasting too much time ๐ )
