An animatic is a series of storyboard images that have been timed into a pre-visualization video to preview an animated film, show, or video game.
动画是一系列故事板图像，这些图像已计时到预可视化视频中，以预览动画电影、节目或视频游戏。

Animatics vary greatly in detail according to the length of animation and budget.

Some are static storyboard frames showing just the timing of shots. Other types of animatics include more detailed camera pans and even some basic animation effects.

Most also include a first draft of the audio soundtrack and/or voice acting.

The job of an animatic artist is to estimate the time needed for each shot — and in some cases the in-between movements.

Studios & animators use an animatic to make sure animations flow well, and to make sure they can easily be adjusted before it is animated properly. This saves a lot of time and budget.
动画师的细节根据动画的长度和预算而有很大差异。

有些是静态的情节提要帧，只显示拍摄时间。其他类型的动画包括更详细的摄像机平移，甚至一些基本的动画效果。

大多数还包括音频配乐和/或配音的初稿。

动画艺术家的工作是估计每个镜头所需的时间 - 在某些情况下，估计中间的动作。

工作室和动画师使用动画来确保动画流畅，并确保在正确动画之前可以轻松调整它们。这节省了大量的时间和预算。

Why Do You Need An Animatic?
When making an animation short, TV show, or movie, you break down the work shot by shot (or by every camera angle).

This is the job of the storyboard artist as they map each shot visually.
你为什么需要一个动画？
在制作动画短片、电视节目或电影时，您可以逐个镜头（或按每个摄像机角度）分解工作。

这是故事板艺术家的工作，因为他们以视觉方式映射每个镜头。

And sometimes on short jobs, it’s possible to get away with just a storyboard!
有时在短期工作中，可能只用一个故事板就可以逃脱！

When your animation is longer than a minute or so, previsualization and timing become very important. This is where designing an animatic can make a big difference.
当动画长度超过一分钟左右时，预可视化和计时变得非常重要。这就是设计动画可以产生巨大差异的地方。

From a practical standpoint, you need to know how long a shot will be on screen so you can plan things like:
从实际的角度来看，您需要知道镜头将在屏幕上显示多长时间，以便您可以计划如下内容：

The amount of work and how long it will take to animate
How many artists you will need
What your budget is and if you’re sticking to it
How to delegate shots to artists so they don’t get overwhelmed
Is your animation meeting any length constraints (ie. is it being timed properly?)
工作量以及制作动画所需的时间
您需要多少位艺术家
您的预算是多少，如果您坚持这样做
如何将镜头委托给艺术家，这样他们就不会不知所措
您的动画是否满足任何长度限制（即，它是否被正确计时？

An animatic is even more important if you want to craft an excellent story that flows naturally.

Before any animation begins, you can see where there may be some awkward pauses. Or you can quickly identify when a scene feels too rushed.

Animatics allow the editor and director to get a sense of the animation and make cuts where needed.

In a nutshell, an animatic saves everyone’s time and energy in the long run.
如果你想制作一个自然流动的优秀故事，动画就更为重要。

在任何动画开始之前，您可以看到可能存在一些尴尬停顿的地方。或者，您可以快速识别场景何时感觉过于匆忙。

动画使编辑和导演能够了解动画并在需要时进行剪切。

简而言之，从长远来看，动画可以节省每个人的时间和精力。



Animatic vs. Storyboard: What’s The Difference?
The storyboard is a series of still images that tell the story including the dialogue written underneath each board panel.

An animatic is a series of storyboard frames that have been timed to provide a very basic “video” of the finished animation.

You won’t be able to create an animatic without creating a storyboard first.
动画与故事板：有什么区别？
故事板是一系列讲述故事的静止图像，包括每个板面板下方写的对话。

动画是一系列故事板帧，这些帧已经过计时，以提供已完成动画的非常基本的“视频”。

如果不先创建情节提要，您将无法创建动画。

Do Animatics Contain Any Actual Animation?
They can.

Sometimes the artist will feel like a complicated action needs to be timed out so the animator will know what needs to happen, and when.

It depends on the preference of the artist and the complexity of the work.
动画学是否包含任何实际的动画？
他们可以。

有时，艺术家会觉得一个复杂的动作需要超时，这样动画师才会知道需要发生什么，以及何时发生。

这取决于艺术家的偏好和作品的复杂性。

For example, check out this animatic for the song Feel Good by Gorillaz.

It has no extra animation beyond the camera movement.

Now look at this animatic for Into The Unknown from Frozen II. It’s got way more detail in the movement and animation.

The level of detail comes down to complexity and budget.
例如，查看Gorillaz的歌曲Feel Good的动画。

除了相机移动之外，它没有额外的动画。

现在看看《冰雪奇缘II》中的《进入未知》的动画。它在动作和动画中有更多的细节。

详细程度归结为复杂性和预算。

Which Software Is Used For Making Animatics?
It all has to start with a storyboard.

If you draw your storyboard out on paper, you’ll need to scan each image in. Or you can save your storyboard frames from any digital drawing software like Photoshop.

Then you can use software like Boords to time them and stitch it all together.

Other software options include Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, or any other detailed video editing program.
哪个软件用于制作动画学？
这一切都必须从故事板开始。

如果在纸上绘制故事板，则需要扫描每个图像。或者，您可以从任何数字绘图软件（如Photoshop）保存情节提要帧。

然后，您可以使用像Boords这样的软件来对它们进行计时并将其拼接在一起。

其他软件选项包括Adobe Premiere Pro，Adobe After Effects或任何其他详细的视频编辑程序。
