Storyboarding

The Storyboarding workshop, moderated by animator Mihai Bădică, follows the artistic structure of a film as reflected in the storyboard – the graphic representation of each shot from the director’s breakdown – an essential step in the making of any kind of film, live action or animation. From idea and on to the detailed description of the film’s elements, the action, character movement in the shot, establishing shot length, camera lenses, camera movements, 20 participants will go through all the types of visual story telling, with a special interest for the forms of expression taken by animation film, and so, with the help of imagination and newly gained knowledge, they will be able to create their own storyboard. The workshop will be taking place during October 10-14 and will be hosted by Danish director of Romanian origin, Mihai Bădică, the first proffesional puppet animator in Denmark and the pioneer of Romanian stop-motion. To apply, you need make five drawings that contain a visual story and send them to the same address: workshop@animest.ro, with the email title Storyboard.

Applications are open from the 22nd of September to the 1st of October, and the results will be made public on October 5th, on the official Anim’est site. Attending the Anim’est workshops is free.
