AI agent for animators

Animation Dailies Notes Agent

Every dailies note reaches the right animator and is followed up

Animation Dailies Notes Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Dailies notes get lost or applied to the wrong file, and the same notes come up again a week later. Before dailies, this agent builds the playlist from shots submitted since the last session, with version numbers and the previous notes for each. During the review it takes notes from the recording or the note-taker and ties each to a shot, frame and animator. It drafts a clean note list, and the lead approves it before notes go to each animator. At the next dailies it checks whether each note was addressed in the new version. Notes not addressed go back on the playlist. Edge case: a verbal note that is not about a specific frame is turned into a question for the lead.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It links each note to shot and frame and carries open notes forward until addressed.

  • Unclear notes become questions for the lead
  • Open notes carry forward
  • Notes go only to the shot owner

An example run

What happensDailies on Tuesday covered 14 shots and 31 notes, which the lead approved. On Wednesday the check found 4 notes on shot 22 not addressed, because the animator had submitted an older file. The agent put the shot back on the playlist with the correct version flagged. The lead approved the updated playlist for Thursday.
