Good Storyboards 3: Avatar: Legend of Korra Animatics


For some reasons, most of my storyboards inspiration are mainly from 2D Animation because they are simply beautiful and the end product is rendered from the storyboards. It is an immediate application of the role of storyboards, in the form of animatics, to tell stories. 

I am curious about the detailed fight scenes animation in Avatar: Legend of Korra because it is easy to follow, so I look up on the film animatics and I stumbled upon this video. The animatics shows every change of movements of characters and other subjects while the details on the background is minimised, but there are still attempts to focus on the movements on it to achieve a more cinematic effect. Furthermore, colour-codes on the moving subjects- even though not as elaborate as those in Japanese anime storyboards and/or layouts- is evidently helpful for the animators who animate the films.
