lighting grid (a function of the longest camera angle). The minimum
height for a small studio is 4 m; in the larger studios 11 m to the grid with
a clear above of 2.5 m, making something over 13.5 m overall.

• In these studios, and access gallery is required at grid level

approximately 4.5 m above studio floor level. This is normally to avoid
obstruction of access doors and observation windows, access to the

provided. Animation Studio ‘Animation studio is a company producing
animated media.’ The idea of a studio dedicated to cartoons. Workshops

according to the sequence of work.

shape and for medium workshops having more than 10 staff, production
flow is in U shape, circular, or square.
