- Creation of heroes. At this stage, the detailing of all characters is determined. The team and customers discuss the drawing of the appearance of the characters, their movements and facial expressions.
- Layout. The draft version allows you to approximately familiarize yourself with the future video.
- Voice acting. It can be musical accompaniment recorded by a group or a solo artist. In some cases, textual accompaniment dictated by the announcer or actors is used.
- Mixing. This is the last stage where the finishing materials are combined with the voice acting.
