Storyboard Research

Storyboards are an important part of pre production in producing an animated film, which is why i need to learn all i can about how to create effective and interesting storyboards.


This storyboard is from "The Rescuers" and i really like how rough this particular storyboard is as it has the core rhythms of the characters movements and personalities highlighted. i also really like the way some words are underlined to accentuate certain words and syllables to highlight the characters personality even more.

Finished Storyboard

This is my finished storyboard for "itsy bitsy spider", i changed and developed it a lot from the starting thumbnails i used different camera angles to help tell the story and the use of high key and low key drawings to help imply the appropriate mood.

Development of my storyboard

For my storyboard of "itsy bitsy spider" i first of all created quick rough thumbnail sketches on post-it notes to help me work through the action and sequence the story.

Then i tried to develop my action and make sure i'm using the camera to help tell the story and to make sure i consider simple perspective to help whoever is reading it to understand whats going on.
