Storyboarding is the “ground zero” of visual storytelling and involves the meticulous process of planning out the look of a film, TV series, commercial, video game and beyond through still images, traditionally hand drawn. Directors and cinematographers use these invaluable assets to plan out the physical execution of a creative project.
In this 7-week course, you will learn the fundamentals of this vital pre-production process, used in a variety of visual media projects from animation to live action and even comic books! With an emphasis on shot composition & storytelling, the course will allow you to develop essential filmmaking skills. By the end of this course, you’ll be thinking and working like a filmmaker before you even reach for a camera and will have the ability to create a full storyboard and turn it into a video animatic.
