Many people think that having a script means that they don’t need to storyboard, but that is far from the truth.
Videos are a visual representation of a concept, so it’s essential that businesses provide an accurate representation of that concept to shareholders or consumers. Plus, storyboarding ensures that everyone gets to have their ideas heard before moving onto filming.
Video Caddy (VCD) has streamlined this process over time as they worked with clients, honing it into an easy-to-follow process that delivers mesmerizing storyboards to businesses!
The fact is that without a storyboard, businesses are just winging it. There are just so many small details that can make a monumental difference in the message being delivered. A storyboard organizes all of those thoughts into an efficient filming strategy that will take a concept all of the ways to publication.
Type of Storyboards and Video Caddy’s Approach
There are so many different types of videos that it should come as no surprise that the storyboarding process also has some variants. Storyboarding is like a map that provides directions for the team to arrive at the final destination.
All of the top videos in the world are put through a storyboard. With that in mind, here are some of the different types of storyboards:
Written Storyboards
This is the most basic type of storyboard where ideas are written in text with important parts highlighted, so they stand out.
Thumbnail Storyboards
Small thumbnail images are used to move the concept through various stages to portray settings and development.
Animatic Storyboards
This is the most complex type of storyboard and is reserved for concepts that are impossible to communicate with still images and words alone.
Digital Storyboards
Digital storyboards are one of the main benefits of using a service like Video Caddy. These can easily be shared across a network.
Video Caddy’s Exhaustive Storyboarding Process
Now it’s time to dive deeper into Video Caddy’s process for creating high-quality storyboards. This system has been honed over time by a team of experienced storyboarding artists:
Step1Build a Timeline
Storyboarding is a process designed to organize a concept in order to provide a roadmap, so it makes sense to start by building a timeline. Video Caddy draws up a timeline that starts with the concept and takes it all the way through to the call-to-action statement.
Step2Identification of Key Points in the Timeline
Movie storyboards refer to these as “plot points,” but the concept is the same. Video Caddy will identify all of the most important points in the marketing message and highlight them. For example, the call-to-action statement is a key point in the timeline, as is the identification of the problem being addressed.
Step3Decide on Exact Scenes and Their Detail
Obviously, key points in the storyboard are going to be much more detailed, so this is the stage when those scenes are decided. Messages should be short and concise so that the viewer is not overwhelmed.
Step4Provide Visual Medium
Obviously, key points in the storyboard are going to be much more detailed, so this is the stage when those scenes are decided. Messages should be short and concise so that the viewer is not overwhelmed.
Step5Provide Details for Each Scene
Storyboards are usually seen as mostly visual, but it’s important to include non-visual details to bring it all together. So Video Caddy will include important messages and pieces of dialogue to bring it all together.
Step6Pull it All Together
Finally, all of the finishing touches are added to the storyboard. Cuts, transitions, and other important highlights are added. This is designed to tie everything together.
