Storyboards

Lights, camera, action!

Planning a film, video or animation needs serious prep work. I can help you lay out your vision in a storyboard.

What’s a Storyboard?

A storyboard is a graphic portrayal of a narrative, concept, or script, divided into sequential scenes (panels). They serve as a roadmap and help to plan shots, actions and dialogue before production begins. They keep your project organized and your production costs low.

Traditional storyboards:
The purpose of a storyboard is to describe a story point and an emotional beat from a story, not to be a finished work of art.

Thumbnails:
Thumbnails are fast, rough sketches to see how well your shot choices and compositions work and convey the camera angles. No amount of shading or rendering is necessary. There’s no need to polish your drawings in the thumbnail stage — fancy drawing only distract from what’s important, which is the story point and the shot flow.

What to think about?

– The level of detail you need.
– The number of frames.
– Pencil, ink or full color.
– Panels with shot descriptions — any relevant information on the action, dialogue, or composition.
– Arrows to indicate camera and/or character movement or how each shot connects to the next.
