PRE-PRODUCTION

Every scene in Escaping Esau began long before the cameras started rolling. During pre-production, the story was developed, historical research was conducted, environments and characters were designed, and every shot was carefully planned through storyboards, previs, and animatics. This foundation ensured that the entire team—from actors to artists—shared a clear creative vision before production began.
