The objective of this workshop is to give students a crash course in story boarding for live action film and commercials. In this workshop students will learn: what makes a strong, dynamic storyboard frame, the different types of story boarding that exist, what to expect when working in a big budget film vs. a live action commercial. This workshop will also focus on portfolio preparation and the business aspects of storyboarding.
