This was tremendous fun for me. It was also a very practical class. We basically worked on our own script. We each did a shot breakdown of the script. Every time something changed - it's a shot. We got about 30 - 40 depending, for our script. She had some nice ideas about how to start and end it too. The outside eye is always fresh, I suppose. She also said what bits she thought were good for visual interest. She showed us how she does her storyboards. She uses photoshop, with a template of a story board. She draws the images with a low opacity, zoomed in. She uses a tablet. It was amazing. If there's one thing I'll take from that it was - get a tablet! The consummate ease with which you can sketch/draw is revelatory!!
ed 20/02/2009: Using a tablet is indeed marvellous. For any artist or graphic artist, a must I would almost say. Opens up a new world of possibility with Photoshop and Illustrator and now too, apparantly, with Cinema 4d's Sketch and Toon.
