In Web/Audio, before we began our animation, we created an animatic, a very rough draft that provided a basic outline for our future animation. We used scanned images from our graphic novel and created basic movements, zooms, and sounds in Flash to lay outwhat would basically happen in our actual animation. But even before that, we created storyboards using the Storyboard Quick software, which provided an extremely basic layout for where our characters would be, what they would be doing, and what they would be saying. While the animatic emphasized camera angles and zooms more heavily, the storyboard emphasized what would be happening to the characters.

In English, we also wrote screenplays based on our flash fictions that led into the storyboard, graphic novel, and animatic projects. We learned about what it takes to make a screenplay, and created professionally formatted screenplays that included the script, actions, and location of our characters. The process gave me a little bit of insight into what actual animators might do, and everything involved in creating a finished animation. Throughout, I edited what would go into my final animation based on the feedback I received from all of the projects.
