Pre-production is the first step in the production of a TV series (i.e., the financing plan has been completed). If there is an issue later, you will have to rework the designs of the main characters during pre-production, and consequently, redo the entire storyboards. It is better to take a little more time and make sure that all co-producers agree with the designs. It’s essential to lock the design of the main characters at this stage.
Teams hiring (Head of Production / Director / Production Manager): Now that the budget and the schedule are defined, the Head of production, the Director and the Production Manager will proceed to the hirings. 
The length of the steps determines the number of people required per team. The global schedule will define the beginning and the end of the production, as well as the duration of the main stages of production.
Schedule (Head of Production): The Head of Production does the global schedule of the production parallelly to the budget. This information allows him to set up the global budget of the TV series. Budget (Head of production): From the information gathered from the bibles and the synopsis, the Head of Production will have an average number of assets per episode, as well as shots. It specifies the places, characters, and essential actions of each episode. Synopsis of 3 episodes (Authors): It’s to write an outline: a one page summary of the scenario. The graphic bible will include detailed main characters and the main settings for the movie. Then they describe the main characters, their motivation, etc. Literary/graphic bible (Authors): The authors will write the literary bible, which will be the basis of the story of the series. The goal of the development stage is to define the graphic and literary styles of the future series. The development is the research stage of the production the producer often funds it himself. At the end, we added a diagram to make things more visual. That’s why in this article will give you a detailed least of all the steps of a production. In production, there is an infinite number of things that can go wrong, so it’s important to eliminate problems that can be predicted, or at least know where they are more likely to occur. 
Each department knows what must be done to make the next step running as smoothly as possible. Knowing the entry and exit points for each stage also help the teams to get better organized. On the opposite, you must be aware of the steps that can be automated. For that you must know all stages that may be a bottleneck and those that involve to do retakes at previous stages. When running an animation production, what matters the most is to identify what can slow down the production.
