Storyboarding

March 07, 2019 / Houmans

The best way to imagine a storyboard is as a comic book. Except every square is the same size and the words are added below the frame of the square. There is an illustration in these squares for every frame of the film/video that is going to be shot.

Storyboards have been around since the silent film era, however contemporary methods were developed in the animation world (looking at you Disney). Who knew having dozens of illustrators in one place would help you develop a method for drawing out what you want in a film?

The Realities of Pre-Production

February 21, 2019 / Houmans

Pre-production is without a doubt the hardest of the three when you’re an independent filmmaker. Most get into the field because we’re visual creators or writers, but good pre-production requires talents that don’t come naturally to us. It requires producing, which is the film way of saying business management and planning.

Oh dear God, the planning.
