Art and design is one of them providing the artistic skills needed to be a professional storyboard artist.

Storyboard artists need to have a degree of education combining several disciplines. The course’s lead tutor will be veteran storyboard artist Iliana Franklin, whose credits include Framestore’s The Tale of Despereaux. Good storyboarding and pre-visualisation planning helps investors, producers, art directors, set designers, actors and production teams working on a project to get a good idea about the staging, the continuity, the camera positions, the acting of the characters and the dialogue of each scene giving a clear impression about the look of the final product in real-time. Talented story and previsualization artists utilise visual language to transform the script into a moving image through illustrations and scene compositions displayed in sequences in order to communicate the story in the clearest and most effective way and to reduce unnecessary work and costs. Pre-visualization techniques are used as a frame of reference for production development. The storyboard is the major tool for directing a story, and one of the most important stages of planning a motion picture. The one-year, full-time MA programme was developed in collaboration with industry mentors including Blue Zoo Animation Studio and The Third Floor, and will provide students with a unique opportunity to learn industry-level skills while earning an internationally recognised academic qualification.

The industry’s first Storyboarding and Pre-Vis master’s degree course, developed with mentors Blue Zoo and The Third Floor, is launching in November 2019.Įscape Studios has been offering short courses and postgraduate degrees since 2002 and now they’re launching the industry’s first specialised Storyboarding and Pre-visualisation master’s degree programme.
