New Storyboarding, Previs & Design Tutorials

Storyboards by Escapee Dominika Brodowska

We've posted some new New Storyboarding, Previs and Design Tutorials, to expand our growing number of videos at our Vimeo Tutorial Channel.

Storyboarding is a growing part of what we do at Escape Studios, as we welcome our newest cohort of students on our MA in Storyboarding & Previsualisation.  We have four new videos to share with our students, focusing on the art of storyboarding, character turnarounds, character design and previs.
