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.
