PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

The National Talent Academy for Animation is launching our Production Management Workshop with Leon Elliott as part of our 2D Production Series. This course will cover the main tenets of the role of Production Manager as is typical in an animation studio. Participants will gain a good understanding of the fundamentals required to manage both crew and assets on any 2D animation project. They will have practical tools and theoretical foundation to confidently plan and complete any production.
 

Content:

This three day course will cover the main tenets of the role of Production Manager related to setting up and managing a 2D animation pipeline. The participants will learn about pipeline workflow, scheduling, crew structure, people management, tracking tools, set up, client management and deliverables.

  Day One:

We will start with an overview of 2D pipelines and typical variants that the participants might come across as they progress in the industry. The participants will also progress to understanding key crew before moving onto scheduling fundamentals and will be shown how to build and use tools to manage a production.

After day one, the participants will be given individual hypothetical productions that they must then schedule out for the next class. They will use the training given on day one as well as their own critical thinking to complete the task.

Day Two:

We will cover people management and styles before moving on to cover asset management and tracking, including practical instruction on how to build functional tracking tools in Google Drive.

After day two the participants will be tasked with creating a basic animation tracking sheet in Google Drive, having learned how to do so earlier in the class.

Day Three:

We will cover more general information and tips from an industry insider. This will include client management, deliverables as well as HR and IT overviews.
