Plus, there will be ongoing discussions between students and myself to help build the independent animation, game and film communities.

This course is structured in sessions that consist of lectures. The students will need to watch or listen to the lectures provided and work alongside the demonstrations to help them follow the information provided. You will in some sessions be asked to read PDF materials provided in the sessions. Considering the possibility of a high volume of students, I will try my best to answer most of the questions and give feedback when I host live sessions. I also plan on scheduling live sessions with industry professionals so that you get a clearer understanding of the techniques used here.

By taking this course in Intro to Storyboarding, you will gain the foundations of a visual storyteller. The goal here is to insure that the people who sign up will learn to use industry methods to further enhance the stories they would like to tell. I would like to help create new storyboard artists for filmmaking, game design, photography for narratives, and graphic design by adding some proven creative storytelling skills to their visual work.

A lot of things in course were good and useful. However, when I set up the English subtitle in case I didn't hear correctly, some of it were unclear. Overall, it was very useful.

Well done. My only critique is that the volume could be louder on some segments. Other than that, it’s perfect. I’m learning so much. Thanks!

a little overwhelming with the hands and other parts. It is not new since I actually have taken a figure drawing class. I still muster triumphally though. Great class. Now I have to admit I have severely underestimated the class at the start but then was taken away by the amount of sequence planning tips such as the blocking to help begin a general brainstorm. Then the steps of making following through the thumbnail and clean ups give a more balanced frame of organization.

It's still early to tell but the video is a little jerky and the Circle lecture cut off before he was finished speaking.
