How to Improve Composition and Storytelling in Storyboarding for Animation

Improving your composition means enhancing your storytelling. Doesn't matter if you are a filmmaker or a storyboard artist, these are a few tips and tricks that can help you frame stronger shots. With analysis from Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can", as well as a drawn example of how to tell the same story with more cinematic camera choices, I am sharing what helped me at the very beginning of my art journey.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
There were many things I didn’t know when I first got a job in the entertainment industry. After a few years of working, I decided it was time to collect questions that I wished I asked before starting my career or wished someone told me about it in college.

My dream is to improve the quality of storytelling through a valuable conversation about not only the craft but also the business of storytelling.

And this is what “The Storyteller Chronicles” is about! #storytellerchronicles
