Story Board Template

Description

I had to make story board for a class of mine, but i didn't like any of the templates so i poked around the internet. i found an image of Studio Ghibli's Story board Template ( well, they called it a continuity sheet) and i liked it (plus i got this really nice story board of porco rosso at home), so i cleaned it up a bit and i thought I'd share.

any way, a few things to know about it. cut keeps track of the cuts made in a scene. so, increment the number by one every time theres a cut. this is so you know how many backgrounds you need.

the comment section is divided into 2 parts. one describing how the camera acts( called action, not for describing the action) and one for audio.

time is for keeping track of time, or frames if its to your fancy.

hope some one will find this useful :)

Thank you for this! I've made a revised version, and tweaked some stuff:
greyfaerie4.deviantart.com/art…

I made the frames 16:9 ratio, and put 5 per page instead of 6, following Studio Ghibli's standards.
I also tidied up the table, so the thickness and everything is consistent, with the frames column in bold.

If you click on the link above, I've written a very detailed explanation of each column and why/how to use it.

Thanks for the reference! :D
