It is often been said that it is not the destination that matters most, but the journey. A bit cliche, yes, but there is a lot of truth in that statement. At Toon Studios we live this truth every day. We think it definitely matters. Certainly the final destination is critically important to us as we work hard to ensure each finished animation tells the right story with the right characters that delivers for our clients. However, if the journey getting to that final product is an arduous one, that doesn't serve anyone well. Our clients are busy and it is important they they can trust that we will not only deliver a quality animation but that our process will be simple, efficient, and one that provides for the greatest amount of flexibility and creativity along the way. Keeping all that in mind we have developed a Project Management system that we believe is one of the best in the animation space. Discover below how we do it and the tools we use.

Initial Client Meeting - Zoom
For our initial client call we use Zoom. We find it important to see each other and have the ability to share our screens as we discuss the high level objectives of the project and get to know those we will be working for. Zoom is very effective, easy to use, and really does help us to best connect with our clients. And anytime through the production process should the client want to jump on a quick video call, we do that too! If a client prefers Skype or Google Meet, we use those too! |
