Create a flowchart or mind map of how these roles interrelate

How have the different roles interrelated during your production?

During our production we had three different groups, Scriptwriters, Production Design and Live Action. The Scriptwriters ultimately came up with the ideas and story line, they then passed it onto the Production Design team where we got together reference images, colour schemes, character designs, key shots and props. These were then given to the Live Action group where they went and filmed both live action and animation scenes. Finally, the last thing to do was editing and cutting all the shots together.
