Storyboarding

Recently read Nourigat's coming to LA book, and it has me thinking a lot of storyboarding.






Great walk through of making this scene by Joe Johnston




Somewhere I listened to a podcast with Alex Hirsch Gravity Falls showrunner where he talked about the 2 types of network cartoon shows. Script based and board based. Script based write out the whole show as a script then hand it to the board artists. Board based the writers come up with a premise and maybe beat break down, but then the board artists take that and actually hash out who does what and who says what. But "script writers" make more and get residuals while board guys don't.

Sam Spina shows the process of taking breakdowns to boards.     It's pretty easy to find adventure time boards and they look like they work this way also.

In real life, you have to pull off 10 to 20 pages per day to make your deadlines.
