Storyboards
A storyboard is the next step in defining the action laid out in the script. It shows the timing
and framing for the camera, as well as the action and dialogue (if any). To create an
effective storyboard, you should dissect your script into scenes, and further dissect the
scenes into shots, with each shot presenting a distinct view from the camera or a distinct
cut of action. Each storyboard panel describes what is happening in that shot. The panels
show you the overall action of the project in a linear, shot-by-shot fashion, and how it
should come together in editing.
Even if your storyboards are simple ones composed of stick figures, they are important
to preproduction.
Concept Art
Conceptuals (also called concept art) are the design elements that are needed for a CG
production. If you don??™t have concept art, whether it??™s your own drawings or photos
or images grabbed from the Internet, you are in trouble. You must have an idea of
how you want your CG to look; otherwise, you are just burning calories and not saying
anything.
If you have CG characters, create character
sheets for each character that show them in
three different neutral poses: from the front,
from the side, and from an angle called a 3??„4 view.
