How to design an animation storyboard

Storyboarding is the first step in planning an animation. Start by drawing rough sketches of the key scenes, showing character movements, camera angles, and important actions. You can use post-it notes for easy rearranging and refining of scenes. Include notes about timing and sound cues. Your storyboard should help you visualize the flow of the animation, and it’s important to have enough detail to communicate the animation’s narrative structure.
