Notes:

The test of animation was used to evaluate the time of rendering, has to test all the method graphics and techniques before passing to the production of final animation.

The final size of the images of SAHARI is 768x576. Each image cost 1' 30 of rendreing (on average) . The best siez for beta TV would be 720x576.

Before arriving at the final storyboard, I worked on pre-storyboard, it is the version paper resulting from the scenario cutting. The final storyboard is in HTML, because it is easier to publish to remove or move scenes. The animatique is a good manners to tell the history before passing to large of work. The storyboard in HTML can to be modified after the animatique one before passing at the stage of the exposure sheet.

" The pre-montage " is made during animation (in same time), it is a good manners, for a short animation, of react on the transitions, or to have more ideas for animation.
