After I have stared at the wall a sufficient amount of time, and finally come up with a story it's time to start storyboarding. Storyboarding is a mapping out of key frames and important scenes in an animation. It is important to see that the viewer will understand the story. There are usually a number of revisions at this stage...and lots and lots and lots of drawing.

| Initial Storyboards: Usually very rough, adding tones helps. |

Showing storyboards to people who are not familiar with the story are my best friends!!! They are a blank slate and tell me what they do and do not understand so that I can make certain points and aspects more clear before I animate.

Finally an animatic is made, which is a moving storyboard. It helps to find pacing and fluidity in the animation and final notes are taken before the final animation is shot.
Next will be a post on visual development! Stay tuned.
