Meaning
An animatic is a timed sequence of rough visual frames used to test pace before final production.
A practical example
Place three storyboard frames against a scratch narration to discover whether the diagram needs five seconds or fifteen.
What to check
A rough timing test does not approve final imagery or audio. Keep the assumptions visible and replace estimated timing with measured recordings later.
