Although there are similarities between storyboards and comics (drawn, sequential art, narrative etc.) one crucial difference is the way the dialogue is presented: there are NO SPEECH BUBBLES within a storyboard panel.<\/span><\/p>\n The process of storyboarding was formalized at the Disney Studios in the 1930s. It was used to pre-visualize their first full-length film, \u201cSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs\u201d (1937) and for all their subsequent productions.\u00a0<\/span>Today, almost all animated films (and many live-action ones) are fully storyboarded before going into production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This video<\/a> shows how storyboards are often created and reviewed in a large studio like Pixar.<\/p>\n While some filmmakers create their own storyboards, large productions often have a dedicated storyboard artist(s)<\/strong> who translate(s) the script into a visual narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Storyboards are usually comprised of simple, sequential, rough, monochromatic drawings<\/strong> – created on a tablet or on paper. Some artists also like to use other drafting media<\/strong>, such as paint, pastels, charcoal etc.<\/span><\/p>\n A storyboard should include the following elements:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staging<\/a> is the animation principle which most directly relates to storyboarding<\/strong>: it refers to the process of presenting an idea in a way that is completely clear. When storyboarding a sequence, you are planning the actions, shots, camera movements, and sounds that will tell your story (or present your scene\/character) in the most compelling way possible – thus applying the staging principle.<\/p>\n Almost all aspects of your animation should be taken into account when staging\/storyboarding:<\/p>\n Create a storyboard for your walk cycle<\/strong>: this will serve as a reference for a new version of your walk cycle for which we will apply the staging principle<\/strong>. We will work on it in the coming weeks, and combine your Animate file with After Effects’ camera, text and effects tools to translate your storyboard into a full animation.<\/p>\n Instead of revealing the entire scene\/character at once, use different shot types<\/strong> to focus the viewer’s attention on different details (i.e: the character’s jewelry, blinking eyes, its tail, a part of the background, a prop etc.). You should also include a title and credits<\/strong> (signal any movement of the text in the panel). Use the captions<\/strong> to write down audio elements<\/strong> (sound effects, music cues, voice over etc.). Don’t forget to indicate any movement within the frame<\/strong> or camera movement<\/strong> with arrows.<\/p>\n The storyboard should be created on paper<\/strong>\u00a0(or on a tablet)- print and use this template<\/strong><\/a>. If you decide to use a different template, make sure that there are 6 panels per page and that they abide to the HD aspect ration (16:9). Scan (or export) your storyboard to turn it into a digital file (JPG or PDF<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Create a new post on your Open Lab portfolio. Your post should include your scanned storyboard<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0as well as a short description<\/strong>\u00a0(reflections on your process, challenges, goals etc. are also welcome).<\/p>\n This assignment is due next week. Submit the following files on the following platforms:<\/p>\n This is part of the final project.
