The production process of a movie is the process by which a movie is created by the producer director and is finally screened in theatres for the movie- freaks.

But nowadays a 3d digital movie is more prevalent and widely accepted by children as well as by grownups.

Before starting a 3d digital movie one need to have a plan about the project, the scope of the project and also to make a budget for the film.

The process in which the animation is done need to be well-known to the film producing team.

The production process need to be completed on or before stipulated time and should be cost-effective.

The three stages of production in normal filmmaking involves preproduction , production, and postproduction, and specially in Indian film scenario the Muharat part plays an important part.

But 3dfilm making is quite different from ordinary filmmaking.

Though like ordinary filmmaking it involves pre-production, production, post production.

But the stages of digital film making are quite different from ordinary filmmaking.

The storyboard allows the director to visualize the movie so he or she may decide what will be appropriate for the movie he or she also makes creative decisions.

Discussing with the director the editor shows the various parts of the story with stipulated timings &dialogue where necessary.

The reel that is created by editorial team include storyboard images, dialogues, basic music and sound effect.

The editorial team creates a basic structure of the movie.

After completing the script and creating the computer generated imagery the voice over team record the final dialogue of the movie .

The editorial team adds the final dialogue of the movie by scrapping off the scratch dialogue.

4.Visual development

Visual effect artist creates the special effects in the movie that includes character environment, props, colour pallets and the backgrounds.

The director conceptualize what the movie will look like.

So he or she tries to get an idea whether he or she is successful in visualizing the basic idea of the movie.

The director gives emphasis on look development and visual development.
