Just like animation, action spectacles cost a lot of money and take a lot of time and effort. Let’s turn to some examples of movie animatics and you can see the benefits for yourself.įor a massive movie like Iron Man 3, pre-visualizations are common practice. Now we know what an animatic is and how it is used in the pre-production process.

This is what makes them a necessary part of the process.

Multiply that into a 90-minute movie and you’ve got years of work.
With animation, it might take a team of people hours and hours just to render one second of film. In animation, you’re “shooting” and “editing” at the same time. These optional takes and the ability to edit them together doesn’t really exist in animation. There is much less flexibility in animation compared to live-action, where you can capture multiple takes of a single shot until you find the best one. Why Use Animatics?

Having an animated storyboard is hugely beneficial to any project, especially an animation. You’re now one step closer a finished film. The next step is to take those storyboards and animate them with an animatic.
It allows for the broad strokes of your story to come through, including camera movement and shot composition. Creating a storyboard is the starting point for visually designing your project.
