As a film maker and director, I offer storyboards which are more then just illustrations. I have profound knowledge of how to tell the story and how to avoid technical complecations. To me, boarding is a way of production planning.
Storyboards
A
storyboard is essentially a drawn image sequence of the film or some
section of the film produced beforehand to help film directors,
cinematographers and television commercial advertising clients visualize
the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. In
creating a motion picture with any degree of fidelity to a script, a
storyboard provides a visual layout of events as they are to be seen
through the camera lens. In the storyboarding process, most technical
details involved in crafting a film or interactive media project can be
efficiently described either in picture, or in additional text.Storyboard

Animatics
At
its' simplest, an animatic is a series of of images edited together and
displayed in sequence. A rough dialogue and sound track is added to the
sequence of still images (usually taken from a storyboard). Animatics
are mainly used for animation, but also by advertising people to create
inexpensive test commercials or pitch ideas prior to shooting
live-action commercials.Animatics
