When creating an animated reel, we walk through the following steps: developing a visual concept and writing a script to define the style, the mood and the main story points (1), creating a storyboard and animation for each scene to animate and convey the idea of the reel using 2D or 3D graphics (2), adding a voiceover, sound effects and music to emphasize emotions and enhance the perception of the reel (3), final checks and adjustments of the reel to make sure all the elements match the idea and work together harmoniously
