Online Storyboarding Taster 10 August at Noon

Storyboard by Ronnie Kim

Join us on 10 August at Noon at Escape Studios for a free online storyboarding taster, to see what it is like learning the art and craft of storyboarding at Escape Studios.

This free online taster will give you a hands-on introduction to professional storyboarding techniques, techniques which are currently in great demand as the animation industry continues to expand.

In this taster, taught by Escape Studios' tutor Iliana Franklin, you will get a hands-on introduction to professional storyboarding techniques, such as creating a simple storyboard and editing the images into a digital animatic with music and sound design.

Storyboarding
Storyboarding remains an area of skills shortage in the UK, as the industry continues to expand. Many studios, such as Disney, have their development and pre-production units here in London, but outsource the actual animation overseas. Storyboard artists work closely with the director to tell the story in a fun imaginative way, taking the script and finding ways to bring the words to life.

Software
You will need to have a version of Maya and Photoshop installed on your machine if you would like to follow along live with this taster. Assets will be sent out to all guests in advance*
