Storyboarding

We have had many variations of Storyboards and as our idea has developed, we have had to create more and more sheets of storyboards.

This first story board we did a seperate one for the boy and girl and then matched them together whilst refering back and forth - this, we found, was veryu tedious and confusing so we wrote out our story again and finalised a few details, then began storyboarding again. The second time was much more fluid and seemed to go a lot better - our second storyboard was much more detailed and sucessful, it acted like a script. We had the literal script which I wrote up and the storyboard which we constantly referenced to.

Example of Storyboards from Pixar's UP!

A storyboard is the vessel of any and every great production, it is a constant reference guide and a life line in filming, I think we would have made many clumsy mistakes and many inconstant errors if we were without a storyboard!

"The storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene."
