Storyboards before software

Original educational sample editorial content included with the FrameShift template. Edit for your own publication.

Start with the message

Define the feeling and information the audience needs before choosing a technique or rendering engine.

Show the arc

Map the entry, change and exit of each visual moment. Timing becomes easier when the story is visible.

Review cheap ideas first

Sketches can be revised in minutes. Rendered assets often take longer to replace than rethink.

Create a handoff that lasts

Name scenes clearly, separate elements into logical groups and describe motion principles so teams can adapt the work.
