Storyboards

Above: my pre-production storyboard sketches for the infamous NTU 'Violette project' depicting unnatural and uncomfortable interview compositions. The sketches were made after our teams initial brief to create a short documentary film was canceled by the man himself and replaced by a new brief to film a series of short interviews about perceptions of fear and comedy in a controlled studio environment.

In terms of speed, it is much faster to draw storyboards directly into Photoshop, especially when an animatic is to be produced using the storyboard art, but after recently experiencing computer malfunctions, with my laptop attempting to self destruct, I am looking to a more traditional way of producing storyboards. A beat script will be illustrated using the Japanese storyboard layout seen above and I will be sketching quickly on paper using soft lead pencils. The art can later be scanned and manipulated further. Having a hard copy of the original pencil art, it will be easy to display the work without having to rely on technology. The storyboards will be used as a reference for further experiments with poster design, comic book art and animation.
