“As an animatic artist I'm most often hired early on
in the pre-production stages of a movie. The
director usually meets with a storyboard artist and
me to discuss how a particular scene should play.
The storyboards are drawn and scanned. I
digitally cut the drawings into foreground, middle-
ground and background layers and animate them
to the director's instructions, including sound
effects, dialog, music, and I include 3d elements
and animation as the action in the scene warrants.
The end result is a mini-movie - or
quot;animaticquot; - that resembles an animated version of
the scene that has yet to be filmed.”

27. FINAL THOUGHTS
If you are a professional artist and have not done so
already, then seriously look into Blender and see if it
meets your needs. You may be surprised at what it can
really do.
Or
if you want to work on a 3d game give a try to Blender
engine and you will be surprised!
Or
If you are programmer you can write plug-ins in Python
for Blender to add more features to it.
