We learn the first part of storyboarding basics from a film script on Feng Zhu’s Design Cinema.
Today, we switch pace from answering student questions in order to learn a little bit about storyboarding for film. In this video, Feng Zhu takes a script from John William Corrington’s I Am Legend and William Hjortsberg’s Legend before taking it into a storyboard process. Later, he goes through a quick animatic from the storyboards. Click on the link below to watch. Enjoy!

Show me the money
This week ending 03/05/16 we have gathered a nice podcast from the FZD Design Cinema Podcast about a topic that is very important to a lot of students who want to get into the industry. For parents who are also aware of their kids financial well-being, this is a pretty good informative podcast explaining a financial breakdown for a professional in the industry, starting from the bottom, which is why we wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a listen when you can.
Whilst this is a beneficial podcast to listen to when it comes to this particular industry, finances are something that everyone will have to deal with at some point or another in your lifetime, irrespective of the industry that you decide to start working in, so it never hurts to establish a sound knowledge base in this area as soon as you can.
The idea of finances covers a large number of areas. From being able to increase your funds by checking out something like this Tesla Aktien Prognose (Tesla Stocks Forecast) and investing in the relevant markets, to taking the time to learn how to create a savings account to ensure that you have money there for emergencies, everything is just as important as the next, so why wouldn’t you want to learn everything you can about it when you have the opportunity? While you may already think that you know all the information that is needed to live a financially secure life, there are always other things you can do to ensure this can be guaranteed. And when you are starting a career in this particular industry, it has never been more important. So, make sure you listen to this podcast. It may just be the best thing that you ever decide to do. Enjoy!
