ABSTRACT

Scale must be determined at this stage to prevent problems later on. A storyboard using two adult-sized placeholder characters will need to be completely redrawn if one of them is later redesigned as a child, since eye-lines and horizon lines will change. Rough drawings will read as the same character even if different artists draw them, as long as the character silhouette remains consistent. This system saves time since storyboards may be produced quickly using non-standardized placeholders. Sometimes boards are redrawn when final character models are set.
