    Storyboarding

    Students are shown the animated video, "Onward". After the video they are shown Adam Campbell's storyboards for a short scene of the movie and we review how the storyboards relate directly to the video..

    Mr. Campbell works at Pixar as a storyboard artist and has been involved with many of their movies.

    A similar storyboard-to-movie comparison is done with the movie, "Up" as well.

    To get the feel for storyboarding and how to represent camera moves and other parts of a scene, blank Storyboard sheets are given to students. The teacher illustrates how to storyboard his daughter Quinn's Lemon video (click here for a youtube version.) as students follow along.

    For the assignment, Students are to watch the trailer for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (find it on youtube here.) and story board a 20 second (or more) section of it on the blank Storyboard worksheets.
