Whats a Storyboard?

A storyboard is a graphic organizer in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.  It is made up of a number of squares with illustrations or pictures representing each shot, with notes about what’s going on in the scene and what’s being said in the script during that shot.  Think of it as sort of a comic book version of your script. Why do we need a storyboard? its one of the best ways to show your vision, it makes production MUCH easier, and it saves you a lot of time!
