Creating a Storyboard for Multimedia Projects

A storyboard is an essential tool for laying out a video or film project to communicate the look of a piece, to show how a story or plot unfolds and to organize the sequence of scenes before any time or money has been spent on studio sets, location shoots or special effects. It serves as a roadmap for producers, directors, casts, crews, animators, audio engineers and post-production editors.

First developed by Disney Studios back in the 1930’s for their early animated films and used in Hollywood ever since as a standard art director’s palette for visually expressing scripts or screenplays, storyboards are now employed throughout the entertainment and advertising industries. They can also be extremely useful for small business, educational and personal video or animation projects to help define and demonstrate how the various multimedia elements flow together to tell a cohesive story in an easy-to-understand format.

If you are planning to produce a video biography, autobiography, documentary, historical record, training / instructional tape or chronicle of special events for your family, school, company or organization, we strongly recommend that you invest in developing a proper script and storyboard.
