This online 8-week course workshop will share basic principles and fundamentals of cinematic storyboarding and demonstrate how to apply them into an actual storyboard execution. From story beat breakdown to composition to laying out camera lenses to character acting and more, from basic technical skills to the creative process, the important key knowledge of cinematic storyboarding will be discussed step by step.
There are many others who want to learn action storyboards and to build a career based on it. But there aren’t many classes that teach you this kind of storyboarding. This workshop is for those of you who are pursuing a storyboard career in the animation industry. Those who want to strengthen basic storyboarding techniques. Those who are art students. Those who want to work in action-adventure shows. Especially those who live far away from the Hollywood animation industry and have struggled to find an opportunity to learn.

Students will receive a website link to view and watch the workshop lecture, and an exercise based on the topic shared from the workshop, sharpen basic technical skills and tackle challenging story sequences like a conversation in drama, 1-on-1 martial arts fights, chases, large-scale action montages and more. The students will have access to rewatch the lecture videos for 1 year.

Each week during the workshop, the students will have the assignment to do, and they will receive a critique video based on their assignments.
