ABSTRACT

Video storyboards, or “pan and scan,” are simple animatics. They have no moving elements, but the camera may move across or zoom in on the art. Films and TV shows may shoot video storyboards to edit into a show while they are waiting for the final footage or effects to be shot. On the season 2 premiere of seaQuest DSV, they shot and edited in my storyboards while they were waiting for the computer special effects to be completed. This was to help the editor and director plan the timing of specific scenes and the entire episode.
