00:00Hello viewer, this is my storyboard. So over four months I drew every single
00:05shot in the film and of course each panel is a shot and the space between
00:09each panel is a cut. I sat down over probably another six months and I drew
00:14all the characters, all the props and all the sets and then after that I did what's
00:19called the animatic and the animatic is really just a moving version of the
00:23storyboard. So my partner Dan scanned every one of these drawings, we put it
00:28into some editing software, we added some temporary voices, some temporary music
00:33and the animatic is sort of like our map and that's the map that everyone uses in
00:39the camera department to see how we're going, what is the mood of the scene, what
00:45is the speed, the tempo, all those sorts of things.
