LEARNING PATH

Storyboarding

Storyboards and animatics are essential for shaping how a story unfolds visually, from shot to shot, in film, animation, and game cinematics. This insightful series looks inside the work of storyboard and animatic artists, revealing how they collaborate with directors to solve problems, refine ideas, and answer critical questions before production begins.

These workshops demystify the process through practical examples and professional insights while highlighting how story, movement, action, composition, and camera work are planned and communicated. Designed for artists across all areas of production, the Storyboarding Path teaches artists how to create effective storyboards and how to read and interpret them as one of the first sets of instructions guiding a team toward a final project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Learning Path.
Learning Paths have been organized to help both aspiring and professional artists, who are looking for training based on the fundamental categories of creative work in the visual effects, animation and games industries. Each Learning Path has been curated to contain a collection of workshops that guide artists through a series of topics relevant to that path, but they are not necessarily sequential. When appropriate, however, we have organized the workshops in a path to be in a logical order. All workshops are tagged with their level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) so that you can browse the path and choose a title that matches both the subject matter and level that you are looking for.
All Gnomon Workshop instructors are professional artists from the entertainment industry, who have worked with us to structure their time, experience and knowledge into practical and inspiring training. We believe that it is important to learn from masters of the craft, who have honed those skills via years of experience working in production, collaboratively with their peers. Through time and experience, artists develop not just their creative and technical ability, but also their communication skills. These become critical aspects to being an effective lead artist, supervisor or, in our case, instructor.
Whether you choose an Annual or a Monthly Subscription, your plan will give you unlimited access to all 26 Learning Paths, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Your subscription also gives you access to the entire catalog of 350+ workshops, with new comprehensive workshops added every month.
While many workshops include Project Files, these are at the instructors’ discretion. You will find details of any project files provided on each workshop page, along with the software/tools required to tackle the workshop. If you have any questions, you can contact us via our Live Chat or email the team at support@thegnomonworkshop.com.
