Saul Bass Storyboard

The storyboard above is one of Saul Bass' creation from the film Phsyco. He has showed intricate detail in each shot, and also displayed the lighting by shading in. 


Storyboarding is the pre-production process of  drawing shots on paper that will become the template for your intended film or animation production before you begin production.

It is both an artistic and logistic process allowing the film crew to have a visual idea of what the director wants in the scene before the actors, actresses, props and set get involved.  The role of a good storyboard artist is to prevent a lot of wasted time in filming aspects of the scene that are not what the director is looking for, as well as streamlining or eliminating unnecessary scenes and filming requirements from the production.
