On about 90% of the projects, we have an online meeting with the client where along with our writer, producer, the illustrator, or animator, we read through the script line by line and brainstorm together to put down in the text visual ideas for each line of the script. This process of explainer video storyboard<\/strong> making is called storyboard notations. You simply write out descriptions under each line of the script the visual ideas, and you may even do some image searches for images and photos to use as source material for the artist to have a clear idea of what you want on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to get a sense and feel for how much you can put on the screen for a given line of script. For example, if your line of script takes 8 seconds to read, be careful so that you don’t try to have 20 seconds worth of visuals stuffed into that 8-second timestamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While working on the explainer\nvideo storyboard, <\/strong>we try to\navoid having too much on the screen in any one scene. If the audience has too\nmuch to process in a short period of time, then they will feel overwhelmed and\nconfused and hit the back button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can have a complete scene for each line of script and,\nin most cases, that will be how it works out. It may also make sense for a\nscene to build over the course of multiple lines of the script on the explainer video storyboard<\/strong>. This can\nhelp the animator or illustrator giving them more time to get everything on the\nscreen so that it works in the timestamp you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At times it can be tough to come up with visual ideas for a\nline of script. Some topics don’t lend themselves to visual expression easily.\nWe have been on explainer video storyboard<\/strong>\ncalls where we have spent 45 minutes working on ideas for one or two lines of\nthe script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the techniques to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a cliche’<\/strong> – The problem with a cliche’ is that it is a cliche’, not creative common original autistic, but people know what a cliche’ means and you won’t receive confusing your audience. So, you can use a cliche and perhaps make it your own in some creative way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Icons<\/strong> – If you have any illustrator or designer that\nis good at creating icons, they can be used to convey something complicated\nvery quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Formulas<\/strong> – You can just keep text, images, or icons to create a formula that gets you through a tough line of script and is very clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Line of the script: “This combination of aptitude (CAN DO) and motivation (WILL DO) is called “Talent DNA”, a combination of tangible human traits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Formula: CAN DO + WILL DO = Talent DNA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos – <\/strong>Occasionally, the best thing to do while working on an explainer video storyboard <\/strong>is to use a photo of the thing the video is about. We have done a lot of projects about physical products, things like manufacturing and building products, and while we would illustrate some elements of these products, we also used photos too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Storyboarding is the step in the production before you actually start animating and illustrating the video.
