Overview
Final delivery for F2 projects includes the submission of completed media, project files, documentation, and other required materials necessary for archiving, exhibition, festival submission, and long-term program recordkeeping. The items listed below are delivered to the Head of Production through the FSUFILM Greenlight system, which is used to track required materials and verify that projects have completed all delivery requirements in a consistent and organized manner.
Careful delivery practices are an essential part of professional animation and post-production workflows because incomplete or improperly prepared materials can create major problems for distribution, preservation, revisions, or future access to the project. The delivery process also reinforces the importance of organization, version control, and technical precision as productions move from active creation into exhibition and archival stages.
