Storyboarding for Film & Animation

Storyboarding has long been used to visually plan and compose the final camera shots for film, animation, commercials, and video games. In this exciting course, students will learn the fundamentals of storyboarding, as well as the art of camera framing, camera angles, and camera movement. While reading and interpreting scripts, students will begin to quickly visualize a sequential series of illustrations to describe a narrative. Students will practice drawing basic figures, environments, and props to use for their storyboard. In the final days of the class, students will craft a 24+ panel storyboard, and present this in the form of a slideshow and animatic movie.
