Chapter 1 How To Prepare For Storyboarding

Planning ahead can save you time and effort. While storyboarding will save you considerable time during production, some additional planning of your storyboard project will further streamline your workflow.

Including storyboarding in your project planning will allow you to meet a number of production goals, such as:

• Providing a common visual roadmap to which a team can refer
• Reducing overall production time
• Reducing the likelihood that production resources are not used on scenes that will eventually be deleted

Using the same logic, taking steps to plan how you will storyboard also eases this early part of production.
