Story boarding Tips from Dreamworks

Things I've learned

•Storyboarding helps to determine whether or not the shots are dynamic, edits are motivated, or if you're missing something.

•To think in 3-point perspective because it adds more depth to your storyboards, which will in turn add depth to your shot.

•Drawing a grid puts your character on an easily discernible plan, which helps you gain more control and perspective as you draw.

Opinions

•When you draw a storyboard first you can make sure that everything is the way you want it before you start on a project.

•Drawing a grid in your storyboard can make your drawings look better and help you put things where you want them to go.
