Abstract

Nanotechnology specializes in the study of structures with nanoscale dimensions. These dimensions are far from our sensory perception and therefore their approach and understanding meet difficulties. Audiovisual materials are projected as means that can contribute to face this challenge. In this context, the present work describes a methodology for the development of a specific audiovisual type that of animation, concerning a particular aspect of the Nanotechnology content, the Size. Specifically, the present work investigates and resolves the seven steps of the designing process of the creation of an animation and to be more specific is presented, the fourth step, the animated storyboard-animatic entitled "Macro-micro-nano world".
