If you want to create an animation, you’ll need to make something else first: A Storyboard!
A storyboard is a planned sequence of key scenes of how your animation or film will unfold, shot by shot.
Â
In this class, I’ll walk you through how to storyboard for an animation based on your own individual story’s needs.
You will explore the process of:
Â
- Identifying the main theme of your story
- Collecting relevant references
- Learning the Principles of Storyboarding
- Learning Terminology
- Creating beat boards
- Thumbnailing your script/story
- Drafting your storyboard
- Finalising your StoryboardÂ
Â
By the end of this class, students will know how to storyboard effectively based on their core story theme, and have completed a storyboard ready to be animated.
These skills can also be applied into creating animatics or motion comics.
Â
Those without an existing story idea will be given a link to a version of "The Emperor's new clothes". Feel free to reinterpret and adapt this in any way for your board!
