Diffrent Types of Animatics

This post is going to explore different kinds of animatic.
------
An animatic is basic mock-up animation that ‘allows the animators and directors to work out any screenplay, camera positioning, shot list and timing issues that may exist with the current storyboard’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animatic#Animatics 2/2/2011
Different kinds of animatic use ether 2d or 3d or a combations of both, using Phostoshop, Flash, Maya, Premier Pro, After Effect and so on. There are several types of panl by panl software with which you can space out each image but they are very limited.
Examples of animatics both from the industry and from other animators who post their work on You Tube.. I did not work on any of this.

This is the animatic that got me thinking about doing it for a living. It’s not quite animation but you get a really good idea of what’s going on.

Wow! Colour! A Pixar short in the style of an animatic.
You will also notice that not all the voices are the same as they are in the finished film.



One of the best examples of how a storyboard evolves from paper all the way to the final film.

Each of these videos show different uses of basic animation to show what’s going on in a scene. I will be explaining how each of these are made and how you can make them yourself.
