Break Down your Storyboard Like A DP Would

Storyboard isn’t just for animation — it’s a cinematography tool.

In this frame, I focused on:

• Camera angle to create tension

• Framing to guide attention

• Movement planning before shooting

Planning shots like this makes execution much easier on set.

I enjoy collaborating with DPs and directors to pre-visualize scenes before production.

What kind of shots are you currently experimenting with?

Amanda Toney

Love that this is your process Abidoye Ezekiel - do you read the whole script first to get your sense of visualization?

Sam Rivera

That's a great mindset—storyboards as a cinematography tool, not just a safety net. What's one shot type you've recently rediscovered?
