Storyboards can be the perfect way to communicate your cinematic ideas. But every once in a while, presentations need that extra power that only animatics can bring. Early sketches are often the first steps in bringing a script to life. They help filmmakers, TV producers and advertisers plan what a story will look like on the screen.  Putting your storyboards into motion not only establishes your shots but also helps set timing, mood, and pace when you layer in music,sound fx) to sequences. 

An Animatic is essentially an animated storyboard that give presentations that extra “oomph!.”

Jane Wu has worked on some of the biggest action movies released in recent years including: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; Thor: Ragnarok and Game of Thrones.
