Storyboard Rules

What is a key frame?

A key frame in animation and filmmaking is a drawing that defines the starting and ending points of any smooth transition. They are called 'frames' because their position in time is measured in frames on a strip of film.

What are the potential problems one will encounter when sequencing /timeline?


  1. 5 frames are not enough
  2. not enough room on the timeline 
  3. timelines are too big for documenting (blogging)


How will they be avoided?


  1. Where it's busy add more information (articulate), action arrows + thumbnails. Add smaller pieces of info through thumbnails. Only add more when necessary. 
  2. Reduce number of points when info not necessary. Vary. Expand the timeline.
  3. Document the process - the process isn't the documenting.


What info do you need?

How do your sequences relate to a timeline?

How are they put on a timeline?
