What is an animatic?
An animatic is essentially a visual and narrative blueprint that is created before the full animation or filming process begins. It’s like a storyboard brought to life, serving as a rough draft of the final product. This blueprint typically consists of a series of images or sketches that are shown in sequence, often accompanied by a soundtrack featuring dialogue, music and sound effects. This helps to give a clearer picture of how scenes flow together before final production. Animatics play a crucial role in the pre-production process of animation and video projects, helping to streamline the production process and ensure a cohesive final product.
What is the difference between an animatic and a storyboard?
An animatic is a more complex and dynamic version of a storyboard. While a storyboard is a series of still frames that outline the key scenes and actions in a video, an animatic is a video mockup that includes rough animations, transitions and audio elements. Animatics give a better sense of timing, pacing and overall flow of a video compared to storyboards. They are typically used in the pre-production phase of video production to help visualize how the final product will look and feel.
