Animatics/Storyboard

The purpose of an Animatic and Storyboards is to understand how the shots and scenes of your film will be layed out. Both storyboards and Animatics are very in-depth and this ensures that the end product of the film is planned out well saving mass amounts of money and time. Also it helps to pysically vision the end product which in turn enables the film to stay on course and not loose the intended impact or story. Storyboards are basically the main shots of the film drawn out side by side to show how the film will sequence and to see and each shot will be done in terms of directing. Animatics is a more extensive version of Storyboards, where they differ is that an Animatic is using the storyboards and bringing them to life with animation, voice overs and sound.

Lord of the Rings is a brilliant example of how using Animatics and storyboards thoroughly and effectively can benefit the end product of a film, earning global acclaim and becoming one of the highest grossing films to be ever created.
