Storyboarding is a crucial step in the production of various creative projects, including films, animations, advertisements, and even interactive media. It involves visually planning out the sequence of events, compositions, and camera angles to effectively convey the story or concept. Storyboards serve as a blueprint, allowing creators to map out their ideas, make necessary adjustments, and ensure a cohesive and visually appealing final product.
For the main title sequence on National Lampoon's, PARADISE: A Town of Sinners and Saints, we created 160+ unique storyboard frames assembled into an animatic with the soundtrack, which helped the director and producers best determine the flow and timing of their opener. Use the links below to compare the storyboards' animatic to the completed full main title sequence.
