Balancing the demands of both studio executives and a creative team, an animation producer acts as a middleman, maintaining a general overview of both the creative and financial aspects of an animated film. Informed by an extensive understanding of the animation process, they’ll figure out how much a film will cost to make before putting together a budget and sourcing essential materials needed to make the film. A manager of both people and pennies with good communication and business skills, they bring a film to fruition by ensuring creative aspirations are met within a realistic timeframe.
