An Animatic is basically a moving storyboard, an animatic is a video or slideshow of the images in a storyboard but the camera angle can rotate and zoom slightly and all sound effects dialogue and music is included in this video, this is the final development of an idea before filming as it shows all the things a storyboard does with sound and shot length as well creating a very similar representation of the final product, our group has researched these as we plan to create one to summarize our idea before entering the final planning stages, we will be able to have a clear view on our mind of what our finished film will look like, here is an example of an animatic i have found on youtube:
This animatic uses hand drawn images but for our own we will use the computer generated images we have already made for our storyboards, an animatic will probably not be used on set but can be used during editing to make the final product look more like the initial idea, we plan to use our animatic when editing our final product to stay within a reasonable range of the shot length and other aspects of our film.
