Week 6: Animatics and why?


Animatic is a filmed storyboard, timed out precisely to indicate the length of each shot, with rough sound (or finished sound). The idea is that the client (and you) can totally understand what will happen on screen, and get a feel for the production.

·    How does it work? You start with and idea or script and create a storyboard, then you scan to capture all your images so you have them digitally, then using a program begin to time out the storyboards, some images will be on for 2 frames whilst others will be on fro 10 frames. The sound can come first, during or after the process depending on what you are doing or your preference. Having the sound to start with does help figure out the timing.

Previsualization (also known as pre-rendering)  is a function to visualize complex scenes in a movie before filming.

This animatic is a great example of how the VFX industry are mixing storyboarding with PreVis and concept art to visually explain the ideas to the client.
