[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Sonny, until now, I've had quite a few storyboards (described as such by the same client in fact, and followed by a more detailed version that they call a "treatment") that look a bit like comic strips with a couple of columns of sketches (aka scribbles) accompanied by notes on lighting etc.. This sounds to be pretty much what you describe. This is what sidetracked me away from storyboard and towards a concept outline or a shooting plan. What I had here was more like a list of dos and donts. I'm getting closer and closer to the idea that a "Denkzettel" is something somebody with no idea thought up just to annoy translators. :-) Cheers Douglas Sonny Carter wrote: > Doug, in the several years I did commercial photography, still and video, > the art directors would draw a storyboard to show the sequence they had in > mind.
