Description I've gotten a lot of questions these past few weeks about what exactly does a "storyboard artist" in tv animation actually do.

Well in short, we translate the script to what you see on screen. This encompasses everything from staging the characters and BG into compositions, acting, camera movement, lighting, fight choreography, etc.

I hope this clears it up.

If you ever want to learn how to do this, I teach this and more over at the Concept Design Academy in Pasadena every semester. (Shameless plug, I know....)

I use Toon Boom for storyboards but I really have no idea what they use in Korea to animate with. I'm pretty sure it's some proprietary program.

There are a number of classes offered at most universities and art schools that cover storyboarding. If you are in the LA area, I teach a class every semester.

If not, check your local college. If they have an animation/ art program, they will most likely have a story board class.

I'm going to school for animation, but I have no idea what I'll actually be doing in that field. Thanks for uploading this. I didn't believe you work for them at first, but this laid to rest any doubts. The movie was a lot of fun to watch.

Some people like to lie (not like it maters), so I just had a hard time believing it.
