ABSTRACT
Feature storyboard artists work as a team or crew under a story head with each artist handling one sequence of a film or working with a few pages of a script or outline that was written in advance. The story head will review the thumbnails with the storyboard artist. If the story head approves the roughs, a rough storyboard will be created for the director(s). The board is "pitched" in a first pass and changes will be suggested in a turnover session. The process is repeated until the story is acceptable to the directors, at which time the boards may be left rough or highly rendered presentation boards may be drawn to replace them, depending on the production and the people involved. Some directors will use extremely rough storyboards and others might require more polished examples for the animatic or story reel. Animation and music go together like peanut butter and jelly.
