Here is the REFERENCE.
What is a storyboard?
Once a concept or script is written for a film or animation, the next step is to make a storyboard. A storyboard visually tells the story of an animation panel by panel, kind of like a comic book.
Your storyboard will should convey some of the following information:
- What charaters are in the frame, and how are they moving?
- What are the characters saying to each other, if anything?
- How much time has passed between the last frame of the storyboard and the current one?
- Where the "camera" is in the scene? Close or far away? Is the camera moving?
Why make a storyboard?
Creating a storyboard will help you plan your animation out shot by shot. You can make changes to your storyboard before you start animating, instead of changing your mind later. You will also be able to talk about your animation and show your storyboard to other people to get feedback on your ideas.
My skill in doing a storyboard is bad because i cant draw well =(
I admit that storyboard really useful before a shooting. I cant easily understand by other people which contain visual.
In my final MI assignment, the lecturer also request us to do an animatics which turn the storyboard to a clip, like a pre-shooting movie. Animatics is quite a lot of work. We need to do all marker rendering, scan it to the computer, use photoshop to erase the background and make the images in to a clip. Luckly it was a pair work. if not i will really gonna fail this subject.
The only thing i hate about animatics is because it was a lot of work. If that the storyboard was clear enough, why we need to animate it?
