Animatic Storyboard Project
Name:________________
Storyboards
are graphic
organizers in the form of
illustrations or images
displayed in sequence for the
purpose of pre-visualizing a
motion picture, animation,
motion graphic or
interactive media sequence.
The storyboarding process,
in the form it is known today,
was developed at the Walt
Disney Studio during the early
1930s, after several years of
similar processes being in use
at Walt Disney and other
animation studios.
Animatics are animated
video storyboards. Think of
them as taking the art of
storytelling a step beyond
storyboards; breathing life
into drawings through motion
and sound.
Storyboard for a commercial production
The commercial's goal was to show device that informs about the
freshness of the food or beverage.
In the past, animatics have been most commonly used for a host of production and marketing-related
applications, such as commercials, sales pitches, special effects previews, bumpers, market testing,
promos, show opens.
Plot: is the literary element that describes the structure of a story. A plot diagram is an organizational tool,
which is used to map the significant events in a story. By placing the most significant events from a story on
the plot diagram, you can visualize the key features of the story. The basic triangle-shaped lot structure was
described by Aristotle in 350 BCE. Aristotle used the beginning, middle and end structure to describe a story
that moved along a linear path, following a chain of cause and effect.
