„Drawing Worlds – Storyboarding in Film, Advertisement and Animation“ (by IO)
The attention on visual narration has increased since the digital communication structures and the possibilities of mass storage became more and more powerfull. It could be compared to the attention on literature since the invention of letterpress. The demand for „Storytelling with the pen“ is high in advertisement, film, TV and even for internet presentation. But is there really someone like „the storyboarder“?
„Drawing Worlds“ will give an impression of how a storyboarder meets the different tasks: What is a classical storyboard? Where are the differences compared to the continuity script? What are the key features of a Pitching-Board? What would a „boarder“ have to pay attention to on the set? – Professionals let you have an insight into their job. (german language)
- Introduction and historical information: Jens R. Nielsen
- Realfilm-Boards: Birger Thorin Grave
