Asking this question out of curiosity: What method do you prefer when drawing storyboards? Do you like drawing on paper with a pen or pencil, or do you prefer drawing storyboards via a computer software?
Hi all, some of you may have seen my sneak peek I posted for my Owl Father fight scene back in February. After many hours of sound editing and special effects design, I'll finally be dropping my animatic here this week!
This will be just phase 1 of the fight, with the full fight planned for sometime in the future.
Here are some screencaps from the project to drum up some excitement for this release. Hope you look forward to it!
Hello, I am not a storyboard artist or in the animation industry at all, but I am a big fan of the children's cartoon, Ready Jet Go, created by Craig Bartlett. There's not too much information about any behind the scenes stuff online, but I know that some parts of the show were produced in LA and others in Canada. In LA they would do the storyboards, and then production services would be handled by Kickstart Entertainment in Canada...where they would be storyboarded again? What? I don't get it. And then the animation, which was done in 3D CGI, would be sent to a vendor studio in India.
This was the case for the show's entire run, here are the credits for the episode "Tiny Blue Dot/Earth Camping"
I am not too familiar with the pipeline for 3D shows compared to 2D ones. Did they storyboard it again to make it more legible for the vendor studio doing the actual 3D animation? Or is it something else?
pretty boards are great for pitching, but for production i care more about whether the board shows the decision.
the boards that have saved me time usually make a few things painfully clear:
i've seen rough boards with ugly drawings work better than polished frames because the intent was obvious. the opposite is also common: beautiful frames that don't tell you why the shot exists.
one small habit that helped me is writing a 5-word reason under any shot that feels expensive or hard. if i can't write the reason, the shot usually isn't ready.
curious how other people here separate “nice image” from “useful board” when reviewing sequences
Hey everybody, I'm a storyboard artist in LA and I made this thing in Blender. Please enjoy!
🔸Storyboard Artist extraordinaire Dan Milligan had the unique opportunity to work with 2 different directors on the same Love, Death and Robots episode, “ Bad Traveling.”
In this short clip he explains what that experience was like.
