The following is what is required in any fully cleaned-up panel of storyboard:Ģ. Although there is some variance to the speed at which artists draw, the following is based on the AVERAGE time needed to create the necessary work based on a script with equal parts action and acting and NO REVISIONS. NOTE: The following is based on the actual PHYSICAL time requirements to create a storyboard for TV animation. The Veteran Board Artist estimates the time that the storyboarding will actually take. If they actually read it, It might give them an understanding why they can never seem to get “those slow board artists” to turn in their storyboards on time. If you are afraid to hand it to them personally, slip it under their door. GIVE A COPY OF TV STORYBOARD TIME REQUIREMENTS to your Production Manager / Associate Producer.
Don’t just complain, get a real consensus of what is happening and get them to keep track of their time as well.ģ. You will understand yourself how much you are working, and you will have physical proof to show anyone exactly what’s going on.Ģ. Get one of those little paper book diaries and write down how many hours you REALLY work every day. If your production manager says that someone else is able to do the work in the 4 week time frame that 4 weeks is really 6 weeks and they have no life.ġ. So the fact is we are all doing a lot of unpaid overtime and not doing anything about it. This is also based on a board that is done on paper with out adding the timing or dialogue tracts required in Toonboom Storyboard Pro or Adobe Flash.
Here are the facts: every panel for a television storyboard based on a written script takes 10 – 20 minutes AVERAGE per panel WITHOUT revision time included. I am assuming that this squeezing of the deadline screws is just as bad for the rest of the preproduction folks out there but since storyboards are my area, I cover what I know best.
It was insane when they moved the deadline for 11 minutes of board from 6 to 5 weeks but 4 weeks for a finished board is NUTS. I’ve been doing TV storyboards for 25 years and this deadline thing is really getting ridiculous.
