Terminology
We'll start by going over basic filmmaking terminology and concepts, understanding what a storyboard is used for, shot types, camera moves, and transitions.
Composition
After understanding the basics, we'll dive deep into composition, learning how to get clarity in your shots. We'll focus on focal points, the rule of thirds, lighting, composition in moving shots, cuts, the 180 rule, shot types, and more.
Storyboarding Process
Jumping right into the action, we'll learn the storyboard pipelines and structure, and start making one ourselves. We'll see how to turn a script into thumbnails, into rough boards, into clean boards, and even how to pitch your storyboard and create an animatic.
Storyboarding with Photoshop
We'll learn how to create quick 3D scenes and use a 3D camera to create shots for our storyboard using the free 3D program SketchUp.
Storyboarding with SketchUp
Since we're margin the entire animated short on the iPad, we can't neglect the important step of compositing our shots to make the final film. We'll use DaVinci Resolve to bring our different shots into the timeline and export the final film.
Toon Boom Storyboard Pro
Included in this course is an in-depth mini-course on Storyboard Pro, one of the most advanced storyboarding programs. We'll learn how to use this program from start to finish and create a professional-grade storyboard and animatic.
Storyboard Pro Mini-Course included!
This course comes bundled with an in-depth mini-course on Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, covering how to create a storyboard from scratch, step by step, all the way to exporting a finished animatic.
This 30-lesson section could have easily been a separate course, but we’ve decided to include it with the Storyboarding Foundations course so you can learn the most advanced methods for storyboarding available today.
Super detailed,
fast-paced.
