ANIMATIC STORYBOARDS.

An animatic storyboard is basically a collection of still images edited together in an animation styley, or rough live action footage, to create a mock up of the finished product. This helps directors to work out camera positioning and timing - and can also prevent shooting scenes that would be edited out if they look silly in the animatic. For my remake of my fave video, I will have to create one. Below is an animatic created for Radiohead for one of their videos:



Whilst they are used for short films, they are also used as research tools, for example to make a mock-up of a commercial to be used on a test audience, which is an inexpensive way of seeing how an audience will respond. A photomatic is similar to an animatic, except it uses still images, as opposed to moving ones.

  1. you need to ammend these posts so that they are relevan to your new project - eg - how they helped you to decide not to make a music video, but gave ideas for a moving storyboard
