SWAN 342 - Pre-Viz & Storyboard Design

3 credits
3 lecture hours.

This course concentrates on the art, form, and function of the motion picture storyboard in the development, previsualization, and budgeting of films and digital media, including e-games. The course introduces the tools and techniques of translating screenplays into storyboards as visual blueprints for planning and budgeting films. The storyboard will be examined as a collaborative outcome of the vision of a creative team led by the director that captures the style and mood of a film before it is ever shot. Students will be required to create storyboards, and “animatics” merging 2-D and 3-D modeling and animation.
