The Storyboarding course will review the way story is communicated through sequential narrative.  Students should enter this class with a familiarity with the production sequence used in making a time-based narrative.  It is expected that students should understand where Visual Development fits into the production sequence.  Students are expected to have a beginning familiarity with character and environment design and be able to demonstrate this understanding in storyboard projects over the course of this class.  Assignments in this class are designed to refine and strengthen these skills.  The capstone project will be an animatic. Click here to apply
