Storyboards are illustrations used by directors to previsualize their projects. This saves time and money later on and, more importantly, helps refine story ideas. Storyboards can illustrate an entire movie, or sometimes only the complicated sequences. Some directors even use storyboards to map out the progression of colour to support a film's story.

At right are storyboard panels I created for three different projects. The first is a standard commercial format for television. The second is for a CG-animated short called "Roadkill" (YouTube / PDF), and the third is for an unproduced computer graphic animation called "Crystal" (YouTube / PDF). For a really close look at storyboards, download this PDF file, which is printable (and viewable to 800%.)
