2D Animatics--storyboards moving through time, the equivalent of the animator's Story Reel. Extremely useful in determining camera moves, timing, blocking, action, editing and performance.

3D Animatics are the 21st-century tool of choice for intense action scenes and moving camera sequences. These fully three-dimensional story reels are a useful bridge between 2D Animatics and final visual FX and animation sequences.
