Storyboards

Storyboards are basically a sequence of images or drawings that describes the planned content of a film or video. These are a good way of visualizing ideas for motion graphics and organizing with the allowance of error and change. In film production the director would work with a graphic designer to visualize a sequence first before filming, this is more time and cost effective.
A bit like comics storyboards are made up of frames, each frame contains only the essential, clear objective (ie the outline of a figure and indication of the movement and perhaps idea of lighting)
