Storyboards v Animatics

Storyboards are a series of frames with drawings and words from a script. After the storyboard, the next step is producing an animatic. Animatics are animated storyboards.

Purpose = They are used for various purposes.
Animatics are used every day in the advertising industry to test commercials. They're used to preview scenes of live-action films before they are shot. Before full-up production, this means the final level.

History = Up until just a few years ago, animatics were produced by filming or videotaping storyboards. Over the last ten years, animatic production has become much more sophisticated. Animatics are now produced with the aid of computer animation.

For our preliminary task we used a storyboard sheet to draft out our ideas, but on the filming day we realised that some shots did not fit, some didn’t look right etc. So we learnt that for our actual music video piece we needed to use a animatic as well as a storyboard to give us a good idea of the look of the scenes as well as ensuring we are happy with the rough look of our music video.
