Animatic!

Here is the animatic for our music video, an animatic is preliminary task that consist of putting a series pictures to a voice over or song to show the effect you want to create in the actual music video.

We took individual pictures of the shots on our storyboard, because that is the most recent ideas we have had, and placed them along side each other in there specific order according to the song. We used Final Cut Express to make this as it is the quickest and most reliable way to get our animatic ideas across.

In our animatic, we have had to re-use certain pictures to create the effect we wanted as in our music video there will be quite a few cutaways, and we felt it would have been pointless to keep drawing the same shots over and over again.

Doing an animatic is a great way to ensure that we know exactly what we will be doing not only in terms of camerawork but in terms of editing. It will help us have a clearer idea on what we want to create and how we can create it.
