Story Board Artist!


        Since i was a wee little baby, animations have also caught my eye. I'd sit in front of the TV and watch Toonami, and all of the cool animated shows. I've always wanted to create my own world, and be able to share it with other people. Sure, i have a great imagination, but i want other people to see what i see, to share a laugh with a situation that they may not have been able to picture. That is why i'm reviewing Story Board Artist.

        A Story Board Artist has to take a scene from screenplays and translate that into a comic book form of the idea. If something said "On a dark, moonless night, the kids wandered.." they would translate this into a comic so it can be shown to the director and see if this is what he wanted. Most Storyboard artists are coming from animation or another fine arts job. They are required in very action intensive movies and CGI.

       Jobs with Storyboard artist usually mean with movies, for they need help to layout a scene and need to be able to picture it in their minds. 2 - 3 Story Board artists may be hired full time for one movie. Story Board artist can be hired for video games, because of the process of making a video game, reminds me of making a movie, just a lot less real life. They will be needed to plan out the way scenes and characters will look. They can be hired at Sony, or any other big producer of movies and games.
