Love all of my products I have purchased by the way!

I am having a hard time creating organized storyboards. Everything is scattered throughout a couple of pages. Do you have any visual samples of some of the storyboarding you do or any tips as to where I could get some information to where I can get better at it? Thanks!

Good point, but I think storyboards are just as important on smaller projects as well. They help with concept, design and process. I think it’s easier to draw out how animation principals will flow, instead of going on the fly in AE.

Awesome Indy storyboard link Andrew !!

Yep yep yep, storyboards are essential on larger projects, I just wasted a lot of time on my last project and had to go right back to the beginning after 2 months. Oh well, it’s all experience, nice work AK.

Cheers

Storyboards do help, but I can also go with just a description on the scene. But that’s just me…

P.S. We need a forum BADLY!!!

Seth, i personally understand your issue.i, also went through the same but after working with a BBC animator Andy Walker,(Jackanory junior) i learnt how to just concentrate on the key poses or rather action in the shot and try visualize the final product.e.g on closeups and dont concentrate much bout the background…u know. i divide my A4 sheet into 4squares and leave some gaps horizontal about 2cm to describe whats happening in the shot.

i dont normally animated to the storyboard flow…know what i mean?i cant decide to start with a simple and more enjoyable shot in the middle of the storyboard and then jump tp the first, 4th etc……and since we are three animators, storyboarding helps us to divide shots according to who’s good at what u know.

Dont let this issue kill your spirit.i believe it also takes time to storyboard well.get more comics and stuff,they’ll help.

Thank to Andrew and the team for this cool site that we can share and for the good materials!!!

When you make a storyboard, draw a picture for each shot. But only draw enough to get the point across…
