That's So Animatic
Wednesday August 14, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am CDT
You do not have to bring cameras into your class to incorporate filmmaking. Animatics is process that most filmmakers go through before they ever pick up a camera. An animatic is a preliminary version of a film, television episode, or animation sequence, created to help visualize the scenes and sequences before the final production begins. It serves as a blueprint for the final product, combining storyboard images, timing, and sometimes basic sound elements to create a rough, time-sequenced version of the project. Using programs like Keynote or slides, you can instantly create animatics to transform any lesson or assignment into an animated experience. Find out the easy way that you can turn drawings and images into opportunities to bring learning to life.
