Thank you!! Looking forward to learning more :-)
I do not no how to draw at all and I am not good with that at all
Thanks for the informative video, very helpful! Really would like to know: what is the storyboard shown at 0:35 seconds? Really like the simple but stylistic vibe of the artist, thanks.
"I tried my hardest to show a lack of artistic ability." What a flex sentence!
You did fine❣️🥳
One small tip- make sure you're starting with panels that match the aspect ratio of your project.
thats a good tip thank you
what do you mean by aspect ratio?
LeonorRivera Rivera Like 16:9 ratio or anything divisible by 1920x1080 if you’re working on a 1080p project for example

Here’s the simplest answer:
Make sure the size of your box on paper could work in comparison to the size of the screen.
I'm mexican, and in spite my english isn't so good I did understand your whole video, not just because you use simply words to describe how to do storyboard, but the way you show what you're doing, thank you so much

Favorite thing about this video: STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
Thank you so much for going into detail and explaining proper techniques and methods on how to storyboard. Excellent job conveying what to do, how to do, and multiple ways of doing things.
Here’s content you can add to your storyboard:
•Timings- important some people argue on screen timings a lot on movies for e.g. screen timings on the villain like joker in Suicide squad
•Camera shots (close up, mid, long)
•Camera angles( over the shoulder, low angle, aerial)
•Camera movement(pan, tilt, zoom or use a track and dolly
•Lighting (type and direction)
•Sound (dialogue, sound effects, ambient, sound, music)
•Location (indoor studio, or other room, outdoor)
I wouldn’t recommend speech bubbles etc. No point if you’re the designer or in a test. It’s up to the developer or director of a movie to decide what the characters will say
You would be presenting something that can be visualised
If you’re doing a test, this is in a mark scheme as a y11 student myself I have a mark scheme of a test paper
Check for practice on OCR
🙌🏼
what the heck I'm also in year 11 trying to do a project lmaoo

To be fair, I think you'd be better off worrying about adding the timings into the storyboard when you get to the animatic stage (filming the storyboard literally with the aim of getting the timings and so overall feel and flow of the movie) because then you can actually test what timings genuinely work and add those in there for the final version. Although I guess it doesn't hurt to have initial guesstimates on the storyboard as a guide for when you film the animatic, especially if you're like a pro and can get pretty close to the correct timings just based on experience and instinct. I can't remember if I used to put the timings down before I test them by filming the actual storyboard or if I filmed the actual storyboard for the animatic, figured out the times, and then retroactively added them into the storyboard for when it came to doing the proper shooting. But--and, note that I was doing this for animations where you actually do the dialogue before any final drawings so already have some decent time indications based on how long people take to say things--there are other timing sheets and stuff that I recall you had on top of the storyboard anyway. Might need to look that up to be honest.
This video has been so helpful! My videography class taught us nothing about storyboards, but all of a sudden we needed to make one for a 1.5 minute long video all together worth 30% of our final grade. The whole class had no idea how to make a proper storyboard so this video has helped us all lol.
Stupid school smh hope you did well :)
Exactly, I think this aspect of creating is often poorly explained and therefore feels like a hassle rather than a very necessary step.
Same here(
Student > "Will this be on the test?"
Teacher > "Hah! I haven't even begun to teach you what will be on the test."
Narrator > "What the student didn't know at that moment is that the teacher would never teach them what would be required of them."
first time i learnt storyboarding, my mentor told me it's like making doodle comic. whatever you draw, it should be able to portray what you want to show without putting lots of detail. i realized i did this quite often, and what i know is 'shapes matter.' it's quite hard first, but eventually i got it. simple shapes, but it can convey the story.
also, with such style, no need to worry if your storyboard is revised; people draw shapes and line all over the place. imagine if you made details there...
True mine also first watching and it was Beautifully explained
I feel more confident lately realizing how important the storyboard actually is. I’ve been to stressed about script writing that I didn’t realize that starting with the storyboard first is so muuuch better omfg I’m way less stressed now
Give us the flight log
I can't believe I have made my first storyboard without watching any video on youtube, but when I finished it, then I checked some tutorials, Damn, I did the same thing as he did.
I literlaly made a story board under 20 minutes without looking at this lmao
You teach brilliantly, very clear and concise instructions with straightforward examples. You communicated so well to the viewer and this has been so helpful for me!
Thank you! Really glad it helps
I just fell in love with the concept of story board, this video is outstanding
That’s very kind thank you!
@@TheMediaInsider no problem, I am very passionate about filmmaking and this indeed helped
Its people like you that make a difference in this world.
Yeah
But in art
@@rocket7281 well yeah obviously
Gee Gunther, I never thought of it like that. Maybe I should tackle climate change next?!
@@TheMediaInsider lol yeah go for it.
I've used this with my class. All of them now appreciate the importance of screaming raptors. Thank you so much!
Haha! Glad to hear it and thanks
I did media production at university 20 odd years ago, this is FIRST TIME storyboarding as made sense to me and actually feels like there's a purpose for it. Our teacher at college was so insistent on drawing everything and didn't explain why also didn't explain how what we were drawing related to what we were filming so storyboarding just always felt like an unnecessary waste of time that got in the way of creating.
This is awesome! You just helped 200 middle schoolers understand better, thanks,
When I was a kid in high school I always wanted to make movies, even just short films. However, I was under the impression, at the time, I wasn't "good enough" or "smart enough" since I was in the "basic" program. If any teacher happens to read this, especially, teaching basic level classes, this is a great opportunity to expand their knowledge. I promise you. If I had more encouragement, who knows what could have come from it? If you are an individual who reads this, all the same to you. Make magic by making things move in your direction.
Thanks Bruh, I got 2-3 weeks to finish a project, your video has pushed me ahead of schedule!!!
Wow MashaAllah.....what a simple and beautiful way of telling. Outstanding. 👍 I like your way of understanding others. Simple and to the point. 👌
Sir you are great at teaching! This was so direct and thorough! Thank you for taking the time to explain this and give options!
I was actually browsing for "Design Thinking" related storyboard videos, when I came across this one. Very well explained and good tips to consider, which might help in my project as well.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you - great video i'm using these in my lessons at school and my students rate them highly!
Glad to help! Will be putting out at least one video per month hopefully
You don't even imagine how you helped us... Tank you!

I love this...I have an assignment due in 7hours and this literally helped
I helped out a college with a video production on just being a cast. Bro i saw this form of story board and my jaw dropped! I love this THank you so much for the detail video
That’s great, so glad you found it useful
Really Unforgettable content.... it's truly seed level to the Ending.... Teaching was so unique and 6 Year Kid can understand and apply
The great lesson, 9-year-old kid learned storyboarding from your video. Thanks.
Ah. I understand now. The bigger box is the scene "Setup" as we see the whole big picture like we direct the movie. The right one is the "Cut" that each cut will contain different camera aspect depending on the cinematographic skill. At first I was perplex on what should I start first. But with your video. I understand now that I can do both 2 pages at the same time!! This is it!
Thank you!
I'm planning of becoming an Animator or a producer or maybe a Story boarder
Because I am so Passionate in Drawing and Story making!
And this helps me very much!
Small tips, It's worth it!
I’m so glad! As with anything, if you’re passionate about it, and put in the hours of practice, you’re bound to get there
@@TheMediaInsider thank you!
Thank you so much for this class. I understood the basics of storyboard making and how o make it work for me. There might be more details but this is good enough to give it a try on my own and as you mentioned, it allows me to know what will happen before I start spending money and time.
I'm storyboarding now. The moving pictures in your head , get them down .
i love the way you have illustrated in your storyboard work up
Thank you!
Zero knowledge about cinematography but this voice makes me want to learn. Great content delivery ❤.
This great thanks you showed me who to make a good storyboard when I can’t draw
I did media studies years ago, and I could've done with this video back then
Brilliant. Such a clear and knowledge filled explanation.
Great Job!!! Clear and concise!! You've restored my confidence in making my own storyboards! Thanks!!!
thanks a lot sir , i was struggling with making storyboards now i have the blueprint , again thank you !!
Great video. I have been storyboarding my model car UA-cam videos on my channel. I find it works a lot better than before when I wasn't. Now i can figure out where I want to stand, and my camera angle, my lines and film a segment and then change the camera angle and other things. I don't say "umm..." anymore because I can say short lines instead and then cut to a different scene and the storyboard helps me piece everything together when it comes to me editing.
I didn't search for this but I feel like I needed to see this.
UA-camrs are the real champs 🏆 This helped so much in my screenwriting efforts. Thank you, sir!
I am taking creative multimedia course at my university, this channel really help self-discovery studies thank you, sir!
Great to hear! I'll keep putting up videos for Creative Media as often as I can, and I'm always grateful for requests
Thank you for this detailed explanation on doing storyboards. Your video is excellent. I love how you utilized descriptions of what it is going on the scene in a clear and concise summary form. Thank you!
Many thanks for your high praise! I will be uploading another video, demonstrating how to develop a screenplay into a storyboard this month so keep an eye out
Really Impressive
I was thinking to make a documentary video on the research I have done on spirituality. This video I accidently came across and watched. So amazing the way you explain these terminology and making so simple to understand. Thank you so much. Now I know what needs to be done to make my thought into a reality. Please do what you do best... thank you!
i am really impressed by the clarity of your explanation and examples. thank you very much!
I can draw well I just need to how to draw storyboard (like the format) because I’m auditioning for a storyboard artist so this helped a lot!
I love your explanation. I use it to explain to my students. Clear and concise. Thank you so much.
Super helpful! Short and simple, easy to duplicate & FULL OF GEMS!
Thanks glad it helped!
Thank you so much I needed this for a animation I'm working on
Glad I could help - good luck with the animation
@@TheMediaInsider Thanks!
Wow, I'm a pretty decent artist, but not good enough to keep up with my imagination! I think this storyboarding idea is a faster way to get the whole thing done rather than being precise about the artwork.
Thank you very much for this video!
Thank you! Less is more!
@@TheMediaInsider I started my own graphic novel, but I could never finish the story. I could plow throw the storyboard and hire other people to draw it out for me. It's a another zombie using my own personal life as the background.
Thank you for making this video! I will eventually need to storyboard my movie, but I was thinking I needed to watch drawing lesson UA-cams, which is still probably not a bad idea, but my anxiety level about my low level drawing skills has already dropped, and I haven't even finished watching this video yet. Blessings to you fellow red beard.
I just stumbled upon your account today and I gotta say, I love it!
Your videos are so easy to follow for even a total beginner like me.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for your expertise!
I'm using storyboarding to tell my story by visual description , not for directing , but you can do both .
straight to the point...thank you
I was always daunting by the artistic ability that required to draw storyboards since I was in an art school before, but personally I don't have any drawing background. I was criticized a lot on my incapableness of drawing right propotion of the character and the consistency of each frame as well. I mean I know if I got time I can hone my drawing skills, but it shouldn't be the obstacle to me to illustrate my idea on storyboard.
I love how he still replies to comments

This helped me so much! Doing a storyboard for a final project and you explained everything so well, thank you!
Fantastic tutorial! So helpful! Thank you so much for your time and effort. You must be a really great person and someone who truly loves cinema
I'm doing a BTEC in IT and one of the modules is animation and in that one of the casts is creating a storyboard. I immediately thought about this video. I will be defiantly watching this video in detail at some point between now and June 2020.
thankyou for making me more confident
This has been INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you!
the problem i have is i have many ideas but not alot of time to spend on putting the storyboards together
but this was a great inspiration thanks for the content
these simple examples really helped me much
thanks so much
Thank you so much. This has been a great help to me. I am now able to get all these crazy ideas out of my head by putting them on paper. My mind is clearer then ever! :D Much love and peace from my heart to yours!
This is pure gold
Great tutorial. A big thank you from an artistically handicapped 😅
thank you, storyboarding has always been a pain in the butt for me.
Our seniors had it tough with script rewrites but with storyboarding it will be much easier to convey the story and mood. Furthermore, it would something electronic you could carry around at the AFA!
Really doing great job millions of people not afford to spend money to join Flim school.... Hope you are your content really helpful..... Expecting same as with different subjects.... Balu from India
Seeing this is really calming because I know my drawing isn't great but my storytelling is (so I'm told) "extremely good and interesting" so I wanted to learn this storyboarding stuff, really glad I don't have to be good at the details except to get in the main basics, this is going to feel a little weird because I essentially want to say how I Invision the story then come back and drawn it out, that way it doesn't interrupt the flow of how my mind pictures it.
That makes total sense - at the end of the day I see storyboarding in exactly the same way as any note taking method - some people like things to be pristine and neat, and other just need to get their ideas out of their head and down onto the page. Either way, glad it helped!
@@TheMediaInsider yes, like for me and my friend he likes my ideas, and he does the animation and things like VA and writing is somewhat task I believe we'll be sharing, I don't know all else that goes into it, I'm honestly learning as I go, but I want to be able to contribute and not feel so disconnected to the animator, or first attempt was such a huge disconnect from what I was saying vs what he was crudely drawing it was just something I didn't like so I hope to at least be able to contribute and give him a chance to focus on what he specializes in and me being able to have a rough description and some story written out for him to be able to see it and make whatever he wants to what I present, which that doesn't bother me at all, I can think of all kind of stuff endlessly tbh so not like my feelings are gonna get hurt, lol.
I live in Saigon - watching it and find so helpful
Back when I was in small-time TV, we called that dolly movement a truck - truck right, truck left, etc.
This was great I've watched a few of these and this is the best one
very true. i couldn't agree more
Great and inspiring video for those who starts story board like me. Thanks a lot sir.
Amazing video this really makes story board easy for beginner

Really helpful. Something about drawing with a ballpoint pen made me cringe but that's just my sensory response. I'm also starting to draw these on a tablet.

great, great great video- straight to the point- great artist u are
Not sure I agree, but thanks!!

It really helped to understand the basics. Thanks for the video. Keep this coming.
Will do! Thanks!!
"Do what communicates your ideas best"
The big boxes and a package of white typing paper . 👍
really nice tutorial and its very informative
From the start, (I paused to say this about 4 minutes in), this video is already a win, by not assuming that everyone has a cintiq, current iPad, or any other freaking expensive software, and digital tools. My iPad is older, and the (stupid pricey) Apple Pencil would not even work on it, sucks that EVER damn thing is so expensive. Anyway on with the tutorial 👍
Simple and very well explened.... Thanks
Great explanation, I wanted to create a shot list for my video portrait. Learnt very well.
i really like the way you do your work, actually i have been witting stories but when i saw your videos i have got the idea of adding drawings because i know how to draw. [storyboard] is thanks [ KENYA AFRICA]
Thank you for the straight to the point, informative video!
Always welcome

Who here already created a short storyboard for their animation project just by watching the process? I would be amazed
Patience is a force, Through which all of life is difficult It is possible to overcome obstacles. If you are born poor, Then it's not your fault at all, But if you die from the poor, Then it must be your fault.
Brilliant Educational video. I honestly want to learn more about storyboarding.
He's actually wrong at 7:15. I'm in the film industry and have worked 2nd AC and that shot is technically the same shot. It should be labeled 1A (con'td), because they are still the same shot, the camera is just panning, in which you'd write "diagonal pan" and draw the arrows where the camera would be moving. Saying that is shot 1B means it's an entirely separate shot, meaning that in editing, that would be a cut. But there is no cut in that pan shot, so that's why it's incorrect. Hope this helps! (Also, shots are labeled by letters [military alphabet] and scenes are labeled by numbers. So one scene is 1A, 1B, 1C, 1AB, etc, but all those letters are different shots [and are usually cuts])
The "SHOT" you're talking about is actually a "Scene"
He was right , we can just start like "Scene 1" and then shot 1...2...3 thingy.
@@fanticduck3912 it's not a scene. it's the same scene. it's a different shot within the scene lol. Shots are different angles within the scene, which is usually located in one location or one space of time. I'm 100% correct on this lmao.
The "shot" is from 1A to 1B. That's the shot. The A and B represent the 2 angles, from a long shot of the dinosaurs to the close-up of the kids. This first shot which he uses are ones that are used to introduce a new scene, this scene being them manoeuvring around the kitchen. They're only small shots usually, so he did label them right. I don't know what the other guy was talking about though...
@@volrogue he didnt label them all as different shots within a scene. This kitchen scene is THE scene - only 1 scene. The scene becomes a "continuous" scene change when they move locations to the vents above. Every angle we see is a new or different SHOT, and are labeled 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D on slate with military lingo to match. Pro filmmaker here lmao I really know what I'm talking about lol.
@@Skswords825 what are you talking about? The pan fron the raptors to the children IS ONE SHOT! that is why the boards are labelled as 1A and 1B. That pan is the first shot! He labelled it right. And don't try and call yourself a "pro filmaker"
Great explanation... actually it’s more visualizing using both methods as auxiliaries.. maybe just for a beginner like me.
