Dreamworks: Helping you with storyboarding since 9/21/2013

Learning every week (because we get our articles weekly, not daily)
  • Grids: They help. Use them
  • Depth perception: Don't make your characters claustrophobic. Give them plenty of space to roam free. "Roam free my pets! Your god commands it!"
  • Label your characters. You will thank yourself later: If your storyboard is going anywhere, label your characters so you know who is closest and who is farthest and who is in between. Enough said
Judging time
  • I think these are all very useful techniques (TECHNIQUE! TECHNIQUE!!)and I will certainly try using them next time. :D
  • Drawing multiple characters just might be easier now. Thank you Dreamworks!!
  • Le gasp! I have more than two opinions!
  • Grids are useful, but they are messy (or at least they are in my opinion). Grids will be something I will have to get used to. One of the many things of course.
You know I gotta ask
  • How long do storyboards have to be to clearly convey the message or plot?
I apologize for the brevity of this blog. Everything was pretty much self explanatory in my opinion. Very practical. :D
