With my primary education in fine arts, as a director of TV commercials I always found drawing my own story boards for the proposed film myself quite satisfying.
Taking this to the next level and making a painting out of a story board was quite challenging, as normal TV commercials offer either humor, drama or some form of conflict to sell their product whereas a painting has other parameters.
Smoke FRIENDS and be popular was the first in this series. (10 paintings of the same size and format)
Like most TV commercials we identify the problem then the product is applied/ used and we have a solution and a happy customer.
Storyboard: ~(Verb) a series of events drawn / painted / designed within a sequence of frames in varying styles depicting the plot / story of a film / commercial / Television series / work of art (pl.) –s
Frames outline surrounding drawing / painting / design usually black, used to depict the frame of a TV screen or cinema screen. The formats usually encountered for the screens were 3:4 for TV ( now 16:9) and 1:1.85 for cinema. The number of screens or frames per storyboard is left entirely to the discretion of the storyboard artist.
The drawing / painting / designs inside the frame can be done in either black & white or in color, differing in style as long as the concept of the story is clearly depicted.
The style should enhance the actual story told, giving it character and taking it to another dimension for the viewer of the drawing / painting / design.
Additional information supplied on the storyboard could be directions for the casting, stylist and wardrobe or viewer.
Short hand or abbreviations commonly used on storyboards are:
C/U – close up, W/S – wide shot, M/S – medium shot also known as mid shot, MVO – male voice over, FVO – female voice over, VO – voice over
Disclaimer - All characters and products depicted in these storyboards are fictional and any likeness to any person or product, living or dead / past or present is purely coincidental. Any visual likeness or similarities to or resembling any product is purely coincidental.
