Storyboard artists take a stab at everyone’s jobs before they do it, to paraphrase Pixar Director Valerie de la Pointe. As creatively fulfilling as this can be, it’s common for storyboard artists to burn out in attempts to keep up with the increasing demands of the position. Tale will share strategies to maintain a sustainable yet effective practice mindset - and maybe even find some fun and meaning along the way! The workshop will test these concepts on the Reverse Thumbnailing and Next 5 storyboarding exercises.
