Storyboarding and Animatics are essential for planning a production. Animatic creation--the development of computer-animated storyboards--is a valuable skill in the film and animation industry. With the creation of an animatic, budgets are saved from bloating out of control, since each shot can be previsualized. Sequences can be timed and cut permitting the director to judge it's merits before allowing it to be fully produced. Employed by filmmakers, animators, and designers, to plot out compelling stories as well as sequences, understand how to plan and visualize a project. Using a series of sketches to establish key frames and continuity, students storyboard scenes from classic films to learn vocabulary, iconography, and editing. Create shot-by-shot storyboards of your own project--whether a sample of a feature film, commercial, video game, or animation--to lay out a ground plan for production. By the end of class, students construct a 30-second animatic using Photoshop and After Effects.
