The creative process

Through the consultation and creative design process, Planning and Design Consulting and the Kokoro team work closely with clients to turn great ideas into reality.

The design and production process

Once the client's specifications are clear, a design and production schedule is established to suit the project budget and timeline which typically will include the following tasks:

  • The computer design is prepared and tested
  • Component parts are built and assembled using Kokoro's tried and tested process
  • Kokoro's experienced artists apply unique cosmetic design techniques
  • State-of-the-art programming synchronises the desired movements
  • Computer-controlled sound and lighting special effects can also be programmed to further dramatise the end product
  • Finally, the animatronic is transported and installed, with final programming adding the final touches to the end product
