Animatic Storyboard process

To create an animatic storyboard, I first had to scan all the pages of our storyboard, and crop it so it was just the images left. Next, I placed our song, 'chasing highs,' onto a new imovie project and used our shot list (shown below) to time the pictures appropriately to the music.
