Behind The Scenes: The Power of Animatics!
Added 2020-03-31 11:47:20 +0000 UTCFINALLY I may start creating detailed animatics for ever single project I do. Here's a little Behind-The-Scenes video explaining why...

yes! and if it really speeds stuff up! also you can share animatic scenes and progression up to full animation on here and have more content on here and feel less bad about yourself.... also dont feel bad about yourself. you're great and fun to watch.

2020-03-31 14:48:44 +0000 UTCThat sounds great! One oddly specific question but do you use the poses from the animatic 1:1 as keys/extremes for the final animation?

2020-03-31 14:36:57 +0000 UTCAh...you know I never really understood what "Layout" specifically meant. If it's really that step between storyboard and animation then that makes a ton of sense to me and I can see why it is touted as being so important. Basically, if your cartoon works at the layout stage, you have to do something very wrong to screw it up. I will make sure I stick to this in the future. Thanks, Joel :)

2020-03-31 12:39:46 +0000 UTCYour video was very insightful, i think what we kinda lost in the digital age is the process of layout. It used to be its own separate step in animated filmmaking and came right after the storyboards. But nowadays, it kinda got combined with storyboarding/animatics. This careful planning of scenes though down to the background drawings is probably something a lot of us should try to incorporate more again in their storyboards... the layouting part basically :)
