I have posted this because I want the reader of this blog to know what our film will look like before we transform this into an animatic.
Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence, including website interactivity. (Wikipedia)
This is our storyboard, its shows brief pictures of what each scene will look like, we can then these pictures and make them into animatics so you can see how it flows.
