Storyboards

When you are getting ready to make an animated movie it is always good to make a storyboard after you have a good idea of what the movie will be about. In the storyboard you should illustrate or sketch out every key frame that you have. For a single scene you should have a beginning, middle, and an end. Making a storyboard will make it so much easier when it comes time to animate.

A couple good was to make your storyboard even easier to read would be to add notes and color to it. Adding notes lets the animator or animators know what camera angle is being shot and the direction the movie is taking. By adding color to your storyboard you are making it easier on the eyes. If you only use pencil or pen it is hard to see what is going on in your piece, all the lines will get mixed up. The whole point of making a storyboard is so that you have a plan and to make it easier on yourself, so take the time.
