3D Animatic

3D ANIMATIC

Considered the best aid to the director, 3D animatic makes filmmaking a whole new experience. It weaves the director’s most unrealistic of imagination together and brings it to life. What was once called impossible has now been made possible with this technology that breaks through and paves its way to transform creativity from the realms of vivid imagination to reality.

In classic motion pictures such as Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane and Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, the director created storyboards that were initially thought by cinematographers as to be impossible to film. Such innovative and dramatic shots had ‘impossible’ depth of field and angles where there was ‘no room for the camera’. At least not until creative solutions were found to achieve the ground-breaking shots that the director had envisioned. Only if these directors had access to 3D animatic. It is very important that the director not be limited to what is just ‘possible’ or ‘normal’ to the cinematographer.

The advantage of 3D animatic also called technical previsualization is that it shows exactly what the film camera will see using the lenses. It also has the power to give the director the liberty to utilize 3D rendering whenever and wherever he wishes. 3D animatic can be constructed using 3D animation programs or digital puppets within 3D programs. Some programs have a collection of low resolution 3D figures which can aid in the process. Some 3D applications allow cinematographers to create technical storyboards which are optically-correct shots and frames.

Showboat Entertainment, a pioneer in 3D animatic for more than eight years, has unmatched video perfection of the storyboard and the soundtrack. The illustrator and director at ShowboatEntertainment.com is allowed to work out freely any script and timing issues that may exist with the storyboard saving time, energy and cost of the production.

Established in 2004, Sun Animatics has gained popularity on the choice of themes for animation films and has been lauded for its creative storytelling and technology. Based in Bangalore, Jadoo Works boasts of magical imagery through animatics bringing to life the surreal backgrounds and mystical environments.

3D animatic allows the director to experiment with changes in the storyline to evoke stronger reaction or interest. Flashbacks, for instance, are often the result of sorting animatics out of chronological order to help build suspense and interest.
