"The music in your head will tell you which way to go." Seriously. That's the best advice I've heard in a long, long time. It reminded me to have fun. It's easy to forget to have fun.
Haha I could just imagine Kris making all kinds of sound effects and music cues in his cubicle as he works. It's a great habit to get into nonetheless. I think it really helps with the timing of events.
Kris has always been the man. I remember his genius all thru the Sheridan College Animation Program together, way back in 1994 to '97. Glad to see where he has ended up.
Kris Pearn u r a true Storyboarding genius ; U r a true inspiration for me.. specially the gesture drawing. Hope to do something like that 1 day :) Only if we could get more in depth knowledge! Thanks :)
there is so many different jobs for artists and I don't know anything about them! I wish somewhere was guide with all the jobs and required skills listed. Bc I'd like to work on my skills if I only knew what to do and where it could come in handy
How do you switch from one layer to the next so quickly? can you teach us how to set up photoshop so that we can easily use onion skin and flip between layers as easily as you can?
From the looks of it, he has a bunch of template folders. (White with 90 something% opacity for the onion skin effect, blank drawing layer, and the borders.) When he wants to flip through, it's just turning on and off the folders with the eye ball.
This was really informative, thank you. Also, great to see that you're just using photoshop as opposed to a fancy software. I have a question, how do you save your finished frames into a comp sheet? I always have to do it manually, and if I add a new drawing somewhere in the middle, it affects all the other ones behind.
I'm learning to storyboard, and I find it hard to draw quickly while keeping the drawings clear. Usually the faster I draw, the sloppier the drawings look.
try drawing a lot more. Make sure they're relatively loose cartoons. doodle on things. Just draw all the time. I can draw my cartoons super fast all because of casual practice like doodling on things a lot.
i just enrolled in this course a couple weeks ago and the information is great! but i have to say, good audio comes a long way.. he used a poor quality one that leaves his voice very high frequency heavy and telephone-esque, leaving you fatigued and hurt after a while. It would be great if he could host another round of classes and update the quality, give a nicer less distracting experience!
I agree. The audio could be better. I thought for a while if we should keep it on Schoolism. In the end I felt the knowledge in the course was worth keeping it on. My apologies for the audio
+Mayo taizou There are principles that would need to be included in these shots to make them appeal. Don't get me wrong, they are great boards! I especially like that little recoil after the punch. But alot more would have to to be done to the shot to make it flow. Some anticipation when B initiates the punch and maybe a reaction on A. There's tons that could be done to get a basic shot outline.

what is a fancy software to do storyboard? Toon Boom Storyboard Pro?

very good
It was the "Pum pum pum Pusssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" the thing I was missing, thank you!
Haha ;) I love the sound effects :D

no worries, would certainly rather it be available like this, than not at all!
amazing
thats pretty fucking good
this is more entertaining than watching an actual movie clip
Your using photoshop - but where is the storyboard mode on it?? Is this something that's in photoshop CC only?
I don't think there's a storyboard mode. He's just putting each frame in different folders and turning on and off the visibility
Ah yes, I can see that now - thanks Julia! :)
He's basically animating these scenes
Emphesis on "basically". These are barely keyframes.
Why barely
