Storyboard
When I create my own storyboards for frame-by-frame animation, I feel like a visual storyteller mapping out the journey of characters and emotions. Each sketch becomes a vital piece of the narrative puzzle, setting the tone and pace of the animation
WORD TO THE TREES
Music Video Production
The wonderful artist Michael Blume aka whatever mike reached out to us about creating a music video for his latest single, "Word to the Trees". Below is a list of steps and techniques I used to create the storyboard.
We created a Visual Script that has the lyrics on the left side and the visuals on the right so we could brainstorm ideas:
Since the video is over three minutes long, we start with a sketching phase that covers all of the lyrics and addresses all of the themes in the song. This rough storyboard gives us a bird's eye view of the visuals.
We started designing the character based on the photo references below at the artist's request. We also include ideas from the song's lyrics: growth, morphing, death, rebirth, etc.
The final storyboard before adding color plays a crucial role in visualizing the narrative, camera angles, and character expressions..
