What A Day Of Storyboarding Looks Like

Here's how a day of storyboarding goes...

I take meetings to do thumbnails usually with the director. We go over the shot list and create thumbnails for each one. This saves lots of time on the back-end and eliminates a lot of revision because the composition is approved by the director up front. If the director is local we can meet where ever the director likes, the production offices, a restaurant or online . Clients in other cities I meet with online via Skype or Google Meet-Up. I work digitally on a Surface Pro and can share my screen with you so you can see them created in real time and sign off on thumbs as they're composed.

I can do eight to twelve tight pencil or ink/gray client presentation frames or fifteen to twenty faster, looser director shooting boards in a day's time. What's in the frame determines how long a frame takes. Figure drawing and people interacting is fast and easy and mechanical drawing of cars, buildings, airplanes and that sort of thing, takes a bit longer.

Delivery is digital via Dropbox, Google Drive or the client's preferred method.

This is just the general process. The production company is the boss and we'll do it the way that works best for them.
