“Films are made the same today, as they've ever been made, in certain respects. The scriptwriting, the pre-production, the storyboarding, and the designing are all the same. The technique of animation has changed, in the sense that rather than drawing it by hand, we use a computer as a tool. The computer has become a pencil to draw or paint the images that we see in a film.” MadeUseHandsTodayFilmCertainDesignChangedComputerDrawsToolsPaintProductionsTechniqueDrawingPencilsAnimationStoryboarding Author:Rob Minkoff
“Cinematography was incredibly foreign to me, so I read as much as I could about it. Once I figured out that it was just photography with a set shutter speed, I got some slide film and I just went about storyboarding the script and taking snapshots. I took a ton of time doing it just to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing. By the end of it I knew what the film was going to look like - my exposure and the composition and everything. I wasn't scared of cinematography anymore.” LooksEndsFilmPhotographyScriptsScaredSpeedCompositionExposureSlidesSnapshotsShuttersCinematographyStoryboarding Author:Shane Carruth

“But actually making pictures to look like my pictures, I've done it for so long, I'm kind of used to it now. So at the beginning of the process, designing and storyboarding everything, I sort of did all that. And then designed the characters, and doing the textures for the characters, and the texture maps to cover all the animated characters and the sets, I did those, because that's where my sort of coloring and textures get imprinted on the film.” LooksKindLongDoneCharacterFilmUsedProcessDesignMapsTextureAnimatedStoryboarding Author:Dave McKean
“I've been a film geek since I was a little kid and to start with an idea and then get a stack of papers with words on it called a script, then storyboarding the art, and you sit with these guys and now all the sudden it's a movie, and to see fans reactions to it when you put it out.” LittlesArtIdeasKidsFilmGuyFansPaperScriptsReactionsPapersLittle KidGeekStoryboarding Author:Thomas Tull
“Well, what we do is we have a script, of course. But for us, writing is also like storyboarding. It's drawing. And so we will cut all of those drawings together with music, sound effects and dialogue. And we screen this kind of stick-figure version of the film.” WritingWellsKindTogetherFilmCoursesSoundCuttingEffectsFiguresSticksScriptsScreensDrawingDialogueVersionsSound EffectsStoryboarding Author:Pete Docter
“Storyboarding is what I call an "idea landscape" - one that can help unleash creativity, improve communication, and identify practical solutions to complex problems. The beauty of storyboarding is that ideas from an entire team are harnessed, not just those from the extroverts or vocal members.” IdeasHelpingProblemCreativityTeamCommunicationMembersSolutionsComplexesPracticalsLandscapeVocalExtrovertsComplex ProblemsStoryboarding Author:Bill Capodagli
