ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about a working audio track. The next stage of the program will be to create a fully timed-out animatic as the basic foundation of an animator's film. The timing and action judgments necessary will best be made by using the timings of animator's audio track. It isn't always necessary to have the final track to work with—to be honest, a guide track will often do. If precise lip synching is not a priority with animator's film, then it is perfectly okay to use a guide track at this stage. If precise dialog is required, however, animator will definitely need to create a final track, with final actors and final sync sound effects included. However, some kind of track, even if it is a piece of music with no dialog at all, is far more useful for working out scene cuts and animation timings than with using nothing at all.
