Create a Storyboard
Once a concept or script is written for a film or animation, the next step is to make a storyboard. A storyboard visually tells the story of an an animation panel by panel, similar to a comic book.
Your Storyboard will convey some of the following information:
What characters are in the frame, and how are they moving?
What are the characters saying to each other, if anything?
How much time has passed between the last frame of the
storyboard and the current one?
Where is the camera in the scene? Close or far away?
Is the camera moving?

Create an Animated Storyboard
Most commonly, storyboards are drawn in pen or pencil by a storyboard artist. Photographs can also be used, known as a Photomatic (photomatic). The computer is used to apply shading and color to the storyboards, as well as editing and sound design for even more dimention.
Animatics and Storyboards
Storyboards are effective ways to assist a filmmaker during production. However, an Animatic is far more unique and accurate portrayal of your final films vision. Pre-visualize your film and show a potential investor how your film will look.
