Storyboarding has long been an important asset to any production, whether a 15 second tv commercial or full length feature film. Successful storyboards may seem simple, but mastering their creation requires a strong understanding of figure drawing and portraiture, composition and perspective, camera shots and movements, how to read and interpret a script, and how to communicate with the director to capture their vision. This workshop will explore the core ingredients and techniques and that go into creating effective storyboards.
