Animatics

An animatic is an animated storyreel (or storyboard). They are often used to give viewers a better feel for what the final outcome will look like without doing any shooting. Animatics use the pictures from the storyboard(s) and show them in concession to create the idea of movement. SOme more advandced animatics will be animated, but never entireley, so that it is easier for the viewer (generally the production crew) to get an idea of what the final product should look like.
I have my storyboard finished, well page 1 of it anyway, and i am going to start working on turning it into an animatic, which i will then post at a later date. Below is an example of an animatic for the video of the song Dirty Harry by The Gorrilaz
