Animatic Storyboards

Animatic storyboards are simplified mock-ups of storyboards. These give an idea of how the scene will look and give a proper feeling of the motion and timing. They are a series of images that are displayed in sequence and are edited together. To test whether the sound and images work well together in an animatic, a rough dialogue or soundtrack is added. The sound is usually taken from a rough storyboard.

Doing this allows the directors and animators to work out screenplay, shot list, camera positioning and any timing issues that may exist when using the current storyboard. The storyboard and soundtrack are amended so that a new animatic can be produced until the final storyboard is perfected.
