Creating an Animatic Using Audacity and Kino

Creating an Animatic Using Audacity and Kino: "An animatic is a kind of a rough sketch for a film. It’s not really meant to be an artform in itself (although some reach that point), but it is rather intended to be enough information for the filmmaker to make intelligent production decisions. It also must be cheap and easy, since effort that goes into the animatic will not appear in the final film. I have not yet fully decided what tool is right for doing the animatics for Lunatics, so I’m doing some experiments with different tools in order to decide. In this column, I’ll create an animatic for a short sequence from the pilot."
