I don't quite understand the question...all of the show, every single shot, CGI
or live-action, is spelled out in the script, which is given to the various
departments to make it happen.

The best way I can demonstrate this is if you want to go to your local library
and find a copy of my writing book, and check the script for The Coming of
Shadows against the episode.

It's generally 80-110% of what I saw in my head. Sometimes I'll shift around
the scenes to better the flow of an episode once we see how they look on film.
