Storyboarding

Over the course of the past week, i've started the beginning of my storyboard process. I'll be honest here: I find storyboarding quiet tedious (you're seeing about 250 drawings there...) but it is completely necessary for an animated film. And actually quite rewarding.

For months i've had these ideas for shots and framing in my head, only visualised through the text on my script and my awkward verbal descriptions in development meetings. Finally seeing the options ahead of me, what works and what doesn't, in the forms of these little drawings is exciting, especially when placed together in an animatic. It is one stop closer to the whole thing being actualised.

Of course, like the script, the storyboard is an ever evolving process, with frames taken out, moved around and ummed and ahhed over. So, i'm sure i'll be adding to these pages over the next few weeks.
