Some important software we will be considering are
Audacity: which is a sound editing software which will be used to edit music or sound which will be put into our animatic.
toon boom: toon boom will be the main animation software we will use for our final animatic. This program will be used to draw the keyframes and animate them.
other programs may include
Adobe premier: a video editing software which is good for editing and creating video files and for inserting sounds into those video files
Vision lab: vision lab is a handy tool which could be used to edit some special effects after the animatic has been made.
Other programs: Cool edit pro can be used in the same role as audacity but the user interface and the program in general is a bit more complicated than audacity and thus why it was not selected.
Adobe Flash: adobe flash could be used in the same role as toon boom but toon boom is better for freehand drawing and using onion skinning and is also more simple to use than flash.
