What I learned over the years about storyboarding 1) Characters don't move until their legs move. No jump Cuts 2) Have a story reason behind every shot. Example if a character has a zit make it as big as possible or do an extreme close up.

As someone who literally got pushed into the storyboard pool 3 months ago working as intern and now Im a mini jobbing trainee I am super stoked about this video. I feel still like a total beginner but I already board whole scripts of episodes and it feels wild. Im learning with the flow but still your recommendations are gold to me. I will totally start doing more exercises at home too!

Very good analysis! I took several storyboarding courses and I feel it would have been better if we gradually went through those steps instead of doing everything from the get-go.

Thank you for the advice. Currently working on my storyboard portfolio

I’m just starting out in animation, and this video helped me a lot! I never realized how important it is to make things clear, I usually changed camera angles a lot in my story boards or made lazy sketches and jump-shots to scenes instead of being patient 😭

[NoLongerTwee]

Perfect timing! I was just starting a storyboarding project!

Forget your video. Your thumbnail skills are impeccable

Hi! I’m 15 and I recently had to do an art project where I created a comic strip to work on cartoon stylization and found I quite liked it! I’m considering getting into creating animatics and learning storyboarding, if I end up really enjoying it then I may consider being a storyboard artist as a career

This is amazing content about storyboarding, wow! Much thanks and appreciation, kind sir.

[nobodyimportantt]

this is really interesting! i'm currently studying in a program that prioritizes shot composition and editing before character performance

New video! Thanks for sharing this acknowledge

I see that you're using the power of gigachad in your thumbnail. Based.

[lielikevortigern]

Goated thumbnail as always bro, also thanks for the video.

[gutobicalho]

Nice video. Looking further into what makes an advanced story artist to me is someone who can turn a mediocre script into a good story without rewritting It

[paxonite-bd]

Thank you I am trying to figure out storyboarding for motion graphics

Hello, thank you for your videos :)

I'm a total junior and I have a question for a personal project :

I have a text I'd like to board. It's a tense dialogue scene, so the rhythm is based on the lines. But I suck at acting with my voice. I'm not sure where to put the pauses or how long some words should be. And so I'm a bit stuck, cause some shots' length depends on the lines, but I'm not sure if my lines have the good timing.
Should I still continue with my awful records and then improvise the timing ? ( But I'd still be embarrassed to show those records in a demo...)
Should I ask someone to record it ? (But without showing them a board clear enough, might be difficult to convey my intentions...)
So yeah, I'm a bit confused about the steps with dialogue scenes ha ha...

If the storyboard artist doesn't normally write aN episode, who does? I always kind of assumed TV animation writers these days have to be able to storyboard with all of those storyboard driven shows going around in this past decade.
