Animation Planning


The above is a scan of a storyboard which I randomly made up during one of my tutorial sessions and then created into a .gif file so that its an animatic.
Storyboards are good for pre-planning media projects as it can be used as a guide for what you plan on doing, flashbacks or any changes that happens. Big companies such as Walt Disney Studio creates a storyboard for all their productions. Although storyboarding is a good process it can be tedious. Not only that but by storyboarding it enables a group of people to discuss what should go where/should be taken out, etc.

Personally I'm not a great fan of storyboarding as I'm not very artistic and I can't draw very well to express what I want to show therefore I prefer to speak out my views and ideas.

With more practice maybe my drawings will improve and the more I'll get used to creating storyboards for future projects.
