Storyboarding Basics

Storyboards are an art form. And they function as a great way to illustrate the director's vision of a script.

A storyboard bridges the gap between what's in your mind and what's in someone else's mind.
And when working with multiple collaborators, it's important to avoid confusion.

Storyboards are an incredible resource to define your budget, schedule, production plans and vision.

Do you want to achieve an ambitious and singular vision? 
Then a storyboard will you save you a tremendous amount of headaches for the future of your film-production.

Are you making a live-action film? Then a realistic style is often more desirable.
Are you making an animated film? Then most directors will be much more flexible with the storyboarding style.

What's important for any pre-visualisation of a film is using your storyboards to define the elements that are left unclear in your script.

A few years ago we made the first short film at Blauw Films, aptly named Short Film by Blauw Films.
To easily make multiple storyboards in any aspect ratio we required, we developed our Storyboard Template.
