The Los Angeles-area animation house Film Roman creates a black-and-white draft, called an animatic, which reveals what works and what doesn't, Jean said. |
From the blood, sweat and tears of work on an aging desktop computer with minimal gpu power, the beginnings of an animatic came to life. |
There's also a gallery of production stills, an animatic of one of Robinson's original comics, as well as an animatic for the film's original, abandoned opening sequence. |
At its simplest, an animatic is a storyboard, a hand drawn still image that conveys direction, motion, and narrative through camera movement across it. |
Two episodes are presented, in their entirety, in their raw animatic form as well. |
There isn't much to be learned from the track except at how surprised he was to see how close the animatic followed the actual scene in the movie. |
