Storyboarding Seminar at BAF

I attended the storyboarding seminar at BAF which I found really useful. The panel, Ian Culbard, Ginger Gibbons and Kevin Baldwin talked about working up your images. Working first with scratchy thumbnails and builing them out with sound and backgrounds.

Some of the things I learned were about recording sound first or early on to create the movement too it (which i suppose I already knew but this just affirmed it) and creating turnarounds when creating characters. We saw their boards right up to the final piece and their ideas always seem quite consistent. The ways that each of them builds narrative were also interesting or how they communicate their idea to a team.

Ian Culbard creates a whole page of scratchy thumbnails sometimes only he can understand and work from.
