Reading the script. A filmmaker/director/screenwriter sends me the script. The concern is this: how do we film these scenes? It’s my job to read the script, break them down to scenes and turn them into storyboards, illustrating each scene that is written on the page. When you get the script, read it line by line to get an idea for the visuals, how scene will be illustrated. Expand on it to bring your own visual ideas and let the text and visuals mesh together, to create a seamless unified piece of work and to help the film director and the cinematographer shoot the scenes, making their jobs easier.
Here are a few storyboards I did for the THE FIRST, written and directed by Susan Ruth. These three scenes were from the script. A great experience and always enjoy the collaboration with screenwriters and interpreting the scenes. Screenwriting, the script, the scenes. It makes our jobs as storyboard artists easier, but giving us the framework to be creative. Keep on writing, keep on drawing and watch tons of movies.

Hi, everyone. Thank you for your comments and will send networking requests. Will respond to everyone’s comments.
Thanks, Pat! I do both traditional and digital boards. Thank you for your positive comments. If you ever need boards, let me know. All the best.
Hi, Drongo. A few clients will send me reference shots, but I hear you. For something like that, you have to bring your creative and drawing skills to the project and do the best you can.
Hi, Oleksandr. I do both, traditional and digital, working in Procreate, Fresco and Photoshop. Have done both for clients.
Hi, Dan. I have yet to see the film and hope to see it one day and see how the boards aligned with the shots and vice versa. Looking forward to seeing it.
Hi, Olive. Thanks for your positive comments. As I mentioned before, I work both traditionally and digitally. In this case, working with the film director, traditional was fine.
