Animatic

      An animatic is the oldest and historically the most popular form of animation. In a traditionally-animated cartoon, each frame is drawn hand by hand.

      An animatic is produced in the pre-production stages of a film. The director usually meets with the storyboard artist to discuss how the scene's of the film should play out. The end result is a mini-movie, that resembles an animated version of the media product that has yet to be filmed. The animatic, is the chance in which the director is able to be creative and test his idea's through the use of animatic, another advantage of producing an animatic is that a detailed plan of the film can be tested in saving time (and money if a professional production). The animatic can also be a useful tool even when the film is shot, as the animatic can be used as place holders is a part of a scene is to be changed, re-filmed or needs high amount of editing.
