Visual storytelling takes a special set of skills that's not just about drawing pretty pictures. Learn the visual storytelling methods that will make your shots engage with your audience every time.
Creating an animatic is the best way to showcase your visual stories! If you create an animatic correctly you can better sell your idea and grab a viewer’s attention from the first few shots. We discuss the latest trends in story reels to create a complete visual story pitch.
Your scene will come to life if you have interesting staging with quality camera moves. But where to place your characters for maximum visual impact? We breakdown staging and moving the camera to make even the toughest scenes feel seamless.

“My experience with StoryboardArt.org is an invaluable tool that helps you break barriers of what is storyboarding. Very informative and clear knowledge Sergio knows his stuff and makes it easy to digest at a reasonable pace. Assignments that are built to help you tackle difficult real-life storyboard situations. Well thought out with lots of love and effort in every lesson. It's a lot to take in but is knowledge that will be useful for a very very long time. ”
