Animation Techniques

What is a storyboard?

A storyboard is a set of drawings that are put in order and then joined together, they are then used to create a video or animation. Storyboards are often used to make films as they help things to run smoother and are quite easy to use. They are important because without them the animations would not work.

 

Animatics

An animatic is a shortened version of a film or animation. A story reel uses key frames to create a mini animation this helps the objects or people to move. It is important because you will get an idea of the spaces between each keyframe you need and how to make everything run without any problems.

Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks use animation to make films such as The Lady and The Tramp, Finding Nemo and Shrek.
