Storyboarding the Simpsons Way

Great resource for Storyboard techniques created by Brad Bird (The Simpsons, The Incredibles): Storyboarding The Simpsons Way

A must for all boarders!

Storyboarding and Caricature resources!

Since our second years are about to begin their Desert Island Discs projects, it seemed like a good time to post up some resources!

Here is our very own Storyboard template, in all its glory. The overall shape is consistent with the HD 1920x1080 industry standard resolution, and the white sections bordered with grey indicate the 'safe' area. Make sure that you keep all text and other important elements within this space!

Now, onto the fun stuff!

Have a look at Rodney Pike for some really superb caricatures!
