14.THE DO’S AND DON’T OF STORYBOARD
When doing your storyboard don’t draw your characters too small.In general,scenes should be drawn so that the audience gets as close to the action as is consistent with the type scene it is.Of course,in an establishing shot the animation is usually subordinate to the background or location,but you don’t want the audience to feel too far away and out of the story.
Remember that your story board,although used by all departments,is communicating your thoughts directly to the layout man first,and then to the animator.A well thought-out scene will help the layout man translate the story into interesting compositions.Make enough drawings to show the animator what the complete action should be.Don’t simply rely on the description beneath each panel – show it!
Since your storyboard has a deadline and needs to take its proper place in the production line,you’ll need to strike a balance between having it be too perfectly clear or too skechy.For the sake of time draw your figures clearly and with spirit.The expressions should be correct on all the characters.Note changes in the time of day and if there is change of costume.
