In this course we will focus on the essential skills required to create professional storyboards for live-action film and television. Weekly group crits and individual guidance will help you explore styles and sequence drawing techniques, working from quick thumbnail sketches to final storyboards. You'll also learn how to conceptualize and compose your frames, vary camera shots and the fundamentals of visually developing a scene with a director. In-class exercises, lectures and simulated real-world job assignments will broaden your understanding of how storyboards are used in preproduction and during the production of a film. The business side of storyboards will be covered, from how to find work and negotiate a fair rate with a producer to the pros and cons of working with an agent. By the end of the course, you'll know how to pursue a career as a storyboard artist and create the first visuals that spark the visual magic of movies, TV shows and music videos. Beginner to advanced students are welcome.
Note: All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
