The purpose of posting this article is really two fold. Firstly, to demonstrate the role of traditional drawing in film; notice closely the actual shots adhere to the drawings. And secondly, how we could use storybords when making our videos and films. I have mixed feelings about this because on the one hand we tend to thrive on improvisation and spontaneity but on the other hand I sometimes feel under prepared when looking for shots, which ultimately yields missed opportunities and possible gaps.

I see how the act of being in the moment can be difficult. Perhaps; there is a way; not rid of spontaneity but use it as pre-production tool. Get a sense of enviroment and sort of stage rehearse anything that inspires. That would include shot angles, movements, acting, and etc. Then take all that information inside; then come up with stoyboarding. Why waste battery and memory on getting the feel. Get a feel, then shoot. If i must compare It would be the same as drawing the human body. Focus on what is in front and the surroundings by capturing as much information as possible, then look at your paper later.
