Comparison of Dreamworks & Pixar’s Production Pipeline 

I have looked throw both production pipelines for both Dreamworks and Pixar, and have found that the Pixar pipeline starts with the pitch of the idea to the company and dreamworks Has the same first step, after which dreamworks go’s on to the storyboarding stage and Pixar go’s on to the text treatment, after which the storyboard are done.The next stage in Pixar is to do the vioce recording and casting of actor for the characters, whereas dreamworks go’s on to making the visuals and then the casting and then voice recording, but the next stage for Pixar is the editing of the visuals (and making of the reels) afterwhich the ture visuall for the characters are made, whereas dreamworks go’s on to making the models and then the layout. Next for Pixar is the modeling and the next step for dreamworks is the animation of the models but the next stage for Pixar is the creation of the enivorment, the shots are then laid out along with the animation shot, dreamworks continues with, the effects and after the texture of the effects and then the fishing touches, but with Pixar the enivorment and characters are next, then the lighting and texturs are edited, after that, the scene are rendered, and the finishing touches added.So i have found that the production pipelines of both pixar and dreamworks are different in some ways but they are altogether similar in many ways.
