Software 

Panel Forge

We have a number of new software packages recently installed at Escape Studios, much of which is now available for download from home.

• Toonboom Storyboard Pro, arguably now the industry leader for storyboarding. We have a number of licenses available for home use. 
• Panel Forge, a new hybrid software that blends 3d modeling resources with drawing tools. Panel Forge is essentially a stripped-down version of Maya, pioneered by Blue Zoo and Jellyfish animation, that greatly speeds up the storyboarding process. 
• Storyboarder. This free software is open-source and a welcome addition to the board artist's toolkit.

Jobs in storyboarding
Skilled storyboard artists are in high demand, and there is a serious skills shortage here in the UK.

Storyboarding is a complex craft that involves the ability to tell a story visually using both traditional drawing and also (increasingly) 3D skills.  Storyboard artists must also understand acting, performance, cinematography - and also have a sense of fun and entertainment about their work. Above all, they must learn to be clear.  Great board artists often become directors - storyboarding can be a route to the very top of our industry.

Success Stories
A number of Escapees have gone to successful careers in storyboarding:

• Fred O'Rourke
• Dominika Brodowska, board artist at Blue Zoo

Inspiration
Finally, to take a quick peek behind the scenes at Pixar, and see a story pitch by the late (and much-missed) Joe Ranft, one of Pixar's most talented storyboard artists, watch the video below. Storyboarding hasn't changed a whole lot in the years since it was pioneered at the Disney Studio in Burbank. It's still about story, story, story.

How to get ready
To prepare for this class, all you really need do is sharpen your pencils (soft pencils please, 2B or softer), and do some warm up sketches. You might do quick sketches of yourself, your friends, and (in general) the world around you. You should also consider learning the basics of Photoshop and also Adobe Premiere, both of which you will be using extensively in class.

Reading List
The main book on storyboarding that we recommend is Prepare to Board by Nancy Beiman. You can read more about it here. 

MA in Story & Previs
We also run an MA in Storyboarding and Previsualisation, starting in September 2021, for those who want to dig deeper into the story and previs skillset.
