Editing the animatics

Editing the animatic




We filmed our storyboard for our music video, following the guidelines of its timeline setting. For example filming the CU of the lead singer from 00:46 - 00:50, therefore we filmed the image for 4 seconds. Once all the film was shot on Sony NX5, the following day we took the footage to the editing suite and edited the film on Adobe Premier Pro in time to the rhythm of the music. The point of an animatic is to give a better idea of how the scene will look and feel with motion and timing.At its simplest, an animatic is a series of still images edited together and displayed in sequence with a rough dialogue and/or rough sound track added to the sequence of still images (usually taken from a storyboard) to test whether the sound and images are working effectively together. This allows the animators and directors to work out any screenplay camera positioning, shot list and timing issues that may exist with the current storyboard.
