This is the final lesson of this course. This is also the most difficult. You have to combine everything you have learned in this course, the film scoring course, and the film editing course to create a movie which shows you roughly what the final movie will be like.
What is an animatic?
An animatic is the storyboards turned into a movie. You combine the music, the dialog and the storyboards to create a rough version of the final movie.
Why an animatic?
The animatic (the movie of the storyboards) has one major purpose. This animatic will show you if this movie will be successful or not. That is why this step is so important.
Why an animatic?
The animatic is a proof of concept!
Will your movie idea be a sucess? The animatic can help you with planning a successful project.
The Hollywood System
In Hollywood, if the studio likes the script, they may provide money for the production. You don't need to create an animatic to begin filming but a professional production will want to create storyboards, shot lists and breakdowns for their crew.
Filmmaking for normal folks
Before we begin shooting film or video or before we begin an animation project, it can be helpful to create an animatic to test out the idea and the timing of the final project.
Creating an animatic is not easy especially in 3D. Each of the lesson pages in this lesson should be complete lessons.
Later, as more people completed this lesson, I will expand the instructions. But for now, the instructions are minimal.
If you have questions
Therefore, I hope that the steps are not confusing. If you have any questions, please write me.
Be prepared

Fat Penguinsays, "I used the basic microphone on my personal computer and a free application called Goldwave. I used noise reduction effect and changed the pitch. The software can be found on www.goldwave.com.
Click on the dialog to hear the sound.
Kasturika and her brother have completed this assignment: - (11 points) - June 25, 2007
Before we can edit the movie together, we need to gather up all the elements. Above, select the best dialog and the best storyboards. Then we go to the film scoring page for the animatic.
