When you finalize a 3D animation production cooperation, are you always unsure about the production cycle of the production team? As the long wait erodes patience and confidence in cooperation, don't you want to know what the animation production team is doing during those zero-feedback days? And what can be done to accelerate the production cycle of industrial animation?
Actually, the answer is simple. As long as you understand these factors that can affect the production team's progress, you can quickly avoid pitfalls and advance the cooperation process as much as possible.
Completeness of Preliminary Preparation
The presence or absence of 3D models of products and equipment directly affects the progress of the animation production team's modeling work, while the provision of video scripts, company logos, and other information affects the fluency of the final video and its alignment with corporate expectations.
Therefore, if the client team can promptly provide complete 3D models of products or equipment, video scripts, company LOGO, and company information, it will assist the production team in commencing 3D animation production immediately, saving both parties ineffective communication, relatively reducing the production team's workload, and thus achieving the goal of shortening the cycle.
Complexity of Scenes and Equipment
The complexity of different scenes or equipment also varies. The more complex the scene or equipment, the more intricate the modeling, rendering, and special effects work involved. As the workload and production difficulty increase, the production team will invest more energy and time in refining details, leading to an extended production cycle.
Therefore, if you need to produce complex and exquisite animated videos, you need to allocate sufficient time in advance and be prepared for a longer wait. If urgent delivery is required, you can appropriately simplify the requirements.
Accuracy of Information Exchange Between Parties

Communication is an art, and in the exchange between parties, such common misalignments in communication between client and contractor are the most critical pitfalls to watch out for. During animation production, the timeliness and effectiveness of communication between the client and contractor will affect the accuracy of information transmission. Therefore, the more in sync the communication between the two parties, the smaller the deviation between the final video and expectations, the lighter the workload for rework and modifications, and naturally, the production cycle can be shortened.
Under normal circumstances, standard 3D animation video production takes 15-20 days. For more complex models or larger scenes, it takes 30-60 days, or even longer. Therefore, allocating time in advance is also crucial.
In summary, adequate preparation in advance and a thorough understanding of the various factors affecting the production process can greatly improve communication efficiency between both parties, and thus the production cycle of industrial animation can be shortened to a certain extent.
