Yo, Teach!
I recently had the pleasure of teaching an internal training program for candidates looking to learn how to storyboard. It went really well and the trainees showed a lot of growth and potential. I'm very proud of all of them. It was also a fun opportunity to try out some of the things I've thought about doing if I were ever to teach or post lessons online.

Which, to be clear, is an absolute must in the execution of a storyboard. However, I feel like there is a gap in instruction that doesn't talk about the nuts & bolts, day-to-day, production centered elements that are equally vital in doing a storyboard. So that's what I chose to focus on in my curriculum. The training program was basically six weeks long. I thought it would be very important to be as close to a real working assignment as humanly possible. So, we gave all of the traine...
