I will provide you my own version, so you can get an idea, and you will have the chance to improve it by using everything you learned.

Then tips to plan your shots, by using a map, I will teach you how to do this manually first, and then I will recommend a cool tool to do all this planning much faster and dynamic. I will teach you techniques if you are using pencil and paper, and also how to do it digitally using some recommended tools and plugins. You will also learn how to draw perspectives for your panels, so you can do cool backgrounds. Then you will learn how to use the different Symbols to indicate camera movement for action sequences, use arrows to indicate head turns, motion lines to indicate fast movement of the characters, and much more. Because in case you didn’t know, you can do the traditional way, just have a frame and draw inside it, or, you can do the unconventional way of drawing the action first, and then add the different shots. You will learn about the terminology and concepts like, what’s a board, what’s a sequence, what’s a scene, what are shots, what are panels. And in this training bundle, you will learn how to master it. The storyboard is a way of looking into the future and deciding if the animation is looking good or not. The tool for planning an animation is called: A Storyboard. If you create a PLAN that LOOKS BAD, then the animation will look bad. “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” -Benjamin Franklin

Ok, so how do you create a Good Visual Storytelling? By intentionally planning for it! You can leave things to chance, but I don’t recommend it. Good Visual Storytelling is what made Walt Disney become the person who holds the record for having the most Academy Awards (22) and the one with the most nominations (59). Let’s pretend you could look into the future, what are you looking for? How do you know if something looks good or not? He designed a tool to “see the future of his animation” before he even started it. Wouldn’t you like a way to know if your animation was going to look good BEFORE you start putting so much energy and time to make it? Walt Disney thought so when he was starting Disney Studios in the 1930s. FACT: Some stories look good, and some look terrible.
