ABSTRACT

Storyboards for special effects shots need more information than normal storyboards to be helpful to production. To be most effective, they need to have the effects broken down in each panel. Matte lines should be marked, CG images noted, live-action plates noted, green-screen or blue-screen elements noted, and any other elements noted that are important for production to know. You should also list the order of your composited layers (see Chapter 29, Special Effects).
