Pre-Production: Animatic

Once a storyboard has been produced, the next step is key framing everything important into an animated version of the whole storyboard, or more commonly known as an Animatic. 
Animatics are helpful for placing sound down in time with the storyboard so that it can be determined if it looks right; this includes voice acting, music and sound effects. 
Here is an example of how Pendleton Ward's "Bravest Warriors" did their animatics for their episode "Mexican Touchdown". In the bottom left corner is the timing of the animation with the seconds plus the frames (this was possibly showing it was animated 15 frames per second). It also shows colour in the most important parts like the hologram message and the room with cages and the "Tear Sucker".
