Storyboarding

A script is a verbal plan for a story. A storyboard is a plan for the visualization of that story. A storyboard is the inspirational heart, mind, and soul of a movie. Hitchcock knew this and is rumored to have said that once the storyboarding was completed, the movie was 95 percent done and the rest was execution.

Disney’s artists originally would lay individual panels out on the floor and point to the drawings as the composer played the music.

Alfred Hitchcock, Delmar Daves, doted on their use to solve all or most continuity problems up front, on paper, in a storyboard. “If it won’t work there, it won’t work on film” was, I believe, Hitchcock’s quote! He boarded every film he directed, to order. Still, he was in the minority. Be it small-budgeted “10-day wonder” or mega-million-dollar epic, it is expedient, on all counts, to board the continuity—since it is where typewritten script meets “picture” for the first time—and, given a seasoned and savvy pro storyboard artist to interpret that script, is where that script is wrung-out, test-flown, til it cracks/breaks or flies beautifully on its first, maiden flight—right into production’s hangar!
