added comment inAny tips on how to story board a animated pilot?
Fully agree with above pieces of advices, that storyboarding is the key and core technique you should master as first, when practicing to animate. Actually, there are common steps to go when animating the scenes and make a story. Reflecting it on to the fight scene, I’d suggest keeping of the following plan:
- Set the main Goal of your entire story/episode, i.e. piece of reel, and the intermediate goals for each of your scenes
- Check out existing similar videos, references and source ideas for your own
- Carefully describe storyline with the timeline
- Define key video scenes as much as possible detailed. Ideally write the script
- Break down all the scenes and sketch them out.
There was recently Proko - Storytelling Sketch Tour with Moderndayjames: https://www.proko.com/lesson/storytelling-sketch-tour-with-moderndayjames/notes . I’d recommend to look it through. Especially the video, where James perfectly commented the arts and explained techniques of shooting, showing perspectives and coloring aspects. It’s exciting!
Here is also a pretty detailed guide on how to make a storyboard (https://bluecarrot.io/blog/7-steps-of-how-to-make-a-storyboard-for-a-video-professional-tips-and-examples/ ) with a simple storyboard template. I use it in my practice as an universal hands-on check-list. Perchance, you’ll find more useful examples of animation, techniques and tips there as well.

Hi, Dennis, IDK really if selling on Webtoon is the best idea. At least, once you decide to do it, I'd consider possibility not to limit myseld with the sole marketplace, but to try promoting the cartoons at several resources. To deversify risks, to expand the audience and to see what would be the effectiveness of each. Also, it depends on the style, genre, etc... For example , you can check out this review (https://tms-outsource.com/blog/posts/apps-like-webtoon/) and try other alternatives. IMO: it would worth to go far and to make a books of comics or, even better, to make them animated and get the added value. Anyway, it's up to you.

If you dive into art without feeling the need for a grand purpose right away you’ll let your interests evolve naturally. Think of it as an adventure for personal enjoyment and experimentation. Explore different styles, draw inspiration from what captivates you, and set small goals for a sense of achievement. Stan reminding us that growth comes from challenges. I’m also noob, but trying to keep a positive mindset, be patient with myself, and focus on gradual improvement rather than perfection. IMO it worth to let your interests evolve naturally, and remember, the joy of creating is the reason enough. No need for pressure, just go with the flow and enjoy every stroke. ^-^
