Final output

Now that the editing stage is done, the animation is finally completed, it is now simply a matter of rendering out your final video/game onto whatever format it should require and then releasing it into the world. This might mean having it put onto disks and shipped around the world for people to watch or play, or putting it onto the internet to be seen by thousands of people. It can also mean giving it to the client and hoping that it fulfils what they desired and eventually getting paid. Then it's onwards and upwards on to the next project and the pipeline can start again! For a feature length animation, this can mean 3 maybe even 4 years work coming to an end for hundreds of people (To get an idea of how many people might work on one film, and sticking with the shrek theme, here's a list of all cast and more importantly crew who worked on Shrek http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0126029/fullcredits) and they can now begin their next project using the latest technologies.
