ANIMATIC STORYBOARD
So a storyboard is a series of images laid out to
show the direction as well as a visual representation of the visuals of each scene. An animatic is taking those individual images and putting them into a movie file and adding audio. TURNING A STORYBOARD INTO AN ANIMATIC Taking turning storyboards into an animatic removes a lot of the explaining that has to be done beneath the storyboard or by someone presenting them. An animatic speaks much more for itself because it moves and has dialogue.
It also is a much clearer representation of what
the finished product will look like. As you work in animation you'll often find yourself showing works in progress to people who are unfamiliar with the arts so they may have a hard time imagining a completed project from rough work. An animatic is a lot closer to the finished product so it's easier for people to imagine how it's going to pan out. When you're watching the Adventure Time animatic you can imagine what you know the characters to look like in the scenes where they're drawing in as sketches, it's a shorter leap for the imagination. THE ADVANTAGE OF AN ANIMATIC The biggest advantage to an animatic though is it helps define the timing. As a viewer of a storyboard, you can determine how long each scene is by how long you look at a single picture. If we stare at the first picture for a half hour for some weird reason that means that first shot is a half hour long in our interpretation of the storyboard. An animatic allows you to communicate super precisely how long each shot holds for and the timing of the entire piece. You really get across the timing of when an action happens vs when a camera move may happen or when a piece of dialogue happens in relation to the action.
