ABSTRACT
The boards are the most important part of the pitch but the quality of presentation is nearly as important. A bad presentation will hurt a good storyboard. Good story people are excellent actors. They keep the audience's attention focused on the story from the first frame to the last. The pitch is pretty much a rehearsal for the picture, and each scene ideally should be pitched in the same amount of time the action will take when it is fully animated. Turnover sessions happen immediately after the pitch. The audience, which may consist of other story men and women, animators, the directors, and the art director, will make suggestions for additional action, revised staging, or new lines of dialogue. They may be drawn on self-stick notes and stuck on top of the original boards. Flopping a board means that the action will be staged as a mirror image. Sometimes, entire sequences have their boards flopped.
