NEXT EPISODE will be out in two weeks, on Monday, August 26, 2019. As the first Lightbox Expo is next month, I will talk about my "Expo Etiquette" when asking for feedback!
It was a tremendous privilege to have that peculiar but precious opportunity - I only wish the process of organising a reprint or a revised edition were less complete

Thanks for this! Especially when you said "it means you ARE good enough." I've been struggling with that thought since there seem to be a lot better storyboard artists in our team.
Glad it was helpful! We can only focus on our work and our practice as we can't be any better than we are in the present moment. As I said, if they hired you it mean you were good enough for their standards and seeing better artist around you will only make you grow. I think that it is worst to feel as the best artist in the team, because it means you don't have any room to grow there. :)
@@TheStorytellerChronicles thank you! I really appreciate this and that’s a really positive to look at things, I’ll keep that in mind as I grow from here.
Thank you! I'm glad it resonated with you. Are you doing storyboard revisions at the moment? The next episode will be about how to ask for feedback at events like LightboxExpo, CTNExpo, TAAFI... :) comes out on the 26th!
Yeah! I’m doing freelance board & in house revision at the moment. Ppl now are so lucky to have this sort of information & reminder before they actually jump into the industry. Haha. Keep up the great work. First step is always the hardest, and i think this is a good start.
Camillo this channel its simple amazing good!!! I'm already on the Design/Animation studies like for more than a year, and this video help me a lot on it! I want to enter in specific in the Storyboard area, so i will be here watching your videos a lot! Will like to see more about storyboard content videos from you! They're not so much of them on youtube so will be cool hear from you! Greetings!
Glad to hear you want to work in this field, storyboarding is a lot of fun (and a lot of work too :D ) I will come back soon with more videos and I will try to focus more on storyboard specific ones too! Thanks for subscribing Gabriel!
There's a lot that goes into boarding and every director should be able to explain that shows style of cutting.......and help you ....as a revisionist.....to understand the priorities. Do what you can within the time frame you are given to assemble the fixes required. Some harmony shows need to be flat....some can animate non-library posing and cutting. 3D shows can very very cinematic.....some are less so....or incorporate other cool gimmicks in terms of cutting style and camera. Being perfectly on model was a rigid priority in the days when board panels substituted as layouts in overseas production. Any director that still agonizes over on-model panels in this modern world should be relegated to board revisionist for a few months to get his/her head straight ahahaha. It's about timing / cutting / acting.
I really like your channel man! I've worked a fair amount as a freelance board artist and 2d animator, but I never seem to get a foot in the door at studios. Any advice on how to be more appealing to a studio?
Hi Tyler, I am not fully sure on why you are having problems getting a foot in the door at studios if you are able to get freelance. However, I know from experience that some studios just don't take in people in certain roles (in my case storyboard artists) as they prefer to use their limited physical space for jobs they find harder to outsource to freelancers (like any job that requires a lot of computer power). Other than that, I can only suggest to reach out and politely ask for feedback on your portfolio to people that work in the studio you aim for. It happened to me in the past, where I asked for feedback or opinions to people who were not recruiters and still ended up working for the studio because those same people recommended me later on. From the appeal point of view it is hard to tell. Some people would recommend to present work that is in line with the studio style, which makes a lot of sense if you are applying for big studios like Disney or Dreamworks; but if you are applying to smaller studios like the many you can find in Canada, they work on such a variety of productions that being so specific in your style is sort of pointless. I hope this helps a bit and good luck! :)
I should definitely make a video about it, but for now I would suggest this older video by Toniko ua-cam.com/video/GBHaCyKy3Yo/v-deo.html. I hope it helps! :)
No, it's not required. Some studios might put in the job requirement that you either need a degree OR work experience, so it might help to get your first job, but if you have a strong portfolio and you are able to connect with people you can do it without going to college. A degree can be useful if you are trying to work in another country as it can help with visa process, but it is not required there neither. I hope it helps.
@@TheStorytellerChronicles thanks. I’m planning on applying to Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia in 2022 to study Graphic And Animation Design, but will probably transfer to either CalArts or RISD, if I’m not a fan of Longwood. But thanks, anyways!
@@rox7319 In my opinion, the positive of schools like CalArts (or Sheridan College in my case) is the network of people you create. You are surrounded by very ambitious, talented, and like-minded peers as well as connect to professionals in the industry. It's not the degree itself that matters, but the people you meet along the way. The downside of CalArts on the other end is the price tag, that's why many talented people went there for a year and then got a job and left. In any case, good luck! :)

Thanks for the subtle promo for "Setting The Scene"! Much appreciated!
Oh I love that book! You put together something people will treasure for years to come!

Oh man. Thank you for the advice! I am working how to be a storyboard artist and trying my best to be one this year. This helps a lot! Thanks!
Glad this could help!
How's it going with becoming one, Pumpkin?
Excellent advice.

I love this
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad you loved it. Hopefully it will get better with each video ;)
My question is how do I make a portfolio for storyboarding jobs
I should definitely make a video about it, but for now I would suggest this older video by Toniko ua-cam.com/video/GBHaCyKy3Yo/v-deo.html. I hope it helps! :)
Is a college degree required to be a storyboard revisionist or artist?
No, it's not required.
