How to build awareness of the time it takes MMDs to complete tasks?

In order to have a systematized workflow from pixel preparation to pixel pushing.

  • Faster Execution
  • Faster/Less Revisions
  • MMD Friendly =)

Brief Overview

  • Take the time to go over with your CS to ensure you both are on the same page with the direction of the creative being asked.
    • Checklist
      • All links properly work
      • Creative direction is clear
      • Who is responsible (MMD or NLC)
      • Due date

Pixel Preparation (Assets)

  • Review the brief and see if previous assets can be used or if new ones need to be created.
    • If new ones need to be created for the client please save that for future reference/creative.
      • Examples
        • Images photoshopped
          • For stills or video
          • POW cut out
        • Finding images
          • For stills or video
        • Downloading
          • Images
          • Video
          • Music

File Structure

  • All file structure (Pulling source) should be properly organized that essentially is a mirror structure to the working file (AE/PR).
    • This is important in case another MMD/NLC/Freelancer needs to hop in your working file all links work successfully.

Always know the ramp time (How long it is going to take to prepare all the pixels before you make a move) Get it..make a move since we do motion design.


Once you have the system down you can have a rough estimate of due date for CS review R1.
