Introduction to Storyboarding
“We have reached the end of the course, I hope you found it helpful and feel that you have the tools to tackle storyboarding. We have covered the basics. You will find other camera shots, techniques, and styles, but I trust that after that you will be able to recognize the most common ones. Remember, it's not about showing your best drawings, but rather telling your stories well. Imagine not drawing, but picking up a camera and recording what is in front of you. You present it in 2D, but your camera captures it in 3D. Think of the depth as you fill in the blank sheet and move on. For your final project, I would like to ask you to use the templates I have provided. Additionally, I would like to see a page with thumbnails. I created a storyboard for a simple story with one character so that we could really focus our attention on the camera choices and actions. You can use my project as a guide, but I encourage you to tell your own story. You’ll find inspiration and feedback from other students in the forum and I encourage you to participate and comment. Share your final project, I would love to see what you have come up with. Thank you and goodbye! Try to keep your story SIMPLE. It's really easy to complicate it. Have fun and enjoy it!

A course by Laura Ewing Ferrer
Laura Ewing is a freelance illustrator and storyboarder with a passion for animation. As a young girl, she would spend hours watching documentaries and DVD extras of her favorite animated films, in disbelief that creating these stories was a real job.
She went on to study Graphic Design, with a specialization in illustration, to then study Fine Art at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy, and obtained her Master’s degree in storyboarding at Lightbox Academy.
Her diverse experience in the industry includes working in-house at Smile and Learn, as well as working as a freelance artist for documentaries, pilot series, and publishing houses. She most recently worked on a storyboarding project for a live-action movie, which will be released in 2021 and for Madrid 2120 as a storyboard artist, which received this year’s Goya award for best short animation.
