There are many benefits to creating storyboards in the pre-production process. They can help to visualize ideas, plan out sequences and transitions, and communicate complex concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Additionally, storyboards can help to save time and money during production, as they can be used to plan out shots and sequences in advance. Ultimately, the storyboarding process is a powerful tool that can be used in a variety of ways to improve the creative process.
How to commission storyboard artists
There are a few things we always tell our clients to keep in mind when they want to commission a storyboard. First, think about the type of story that you want to tell. Is it a linear narrative or a more complex one with multiple plotlines? Once you have an idea of the story, start planning out the individual shot list. What do you want each frame to depict? How will the shots flow together? As you plan out the storyboard process, think about the camera angles, camera movement and transitions that you want to use. These elements can help our illustrators to create a more visually interesting and engaging story.
When commissioning a storyboard artist, it is important to provide the storyboard artist with as much information and reference material as possible for the project. This should include all the details, key scenes, shot lists, camera angles, characters to be used, any specific images you already have as well as any other relevant details. The more information the artist has, the better they will be able to capture the essence of the project in their storyboard and effectively save time during the storyboarding process. In addition, it is important to specify whether you want the storyboard to be hand-drawn or computer generated using storyboarding software. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the option that best suits your needs.
What are Storyboards?
Storyboards are a visual representation of the sequence of events in an animation, feature film, or explainer video. They are typically used by directors and producers to plan out the individual shots that will make up the final product. They can be extremely detailed, with each panel depicting a specific scene or action. Alternatively, they can be more general, providing a high-level overview of the work.
The storyboarding process can be created using traditional mediums such as pencil and paper, or more modern tools such as CGI and storyboarding software. In either case, they serve as an important tool in the creative process, helping filmmakers to plan and communicate their vision.
