I threw these together to help myself along in the planning of my animation(s). For anybody that wants to use these, click on the images to download a printable PDF file. The storyboard is used to sketch out the images, plan the scenes and duration of each scene.. a sort of overview of the entire animation.
The exposure sheet is used to get into the nitty gritty and plot out actions along with dialogue and any other details. The numbers running down the sides are for each shot — I skipped in two’s because I usually shoot at 24 frames per second, shooting two identical frames in a row which breaks down to 12 movements for each second. In other words, for every second of animation that I make, I have to take 24 photos. There are 18 seconds on this sheet, so for a 5 minute animation, I’d basically use about 17 of these sheets (I won’t lie, I’m not that organized and will probably just scratch notes for certain instances rather than plot the whole thing in such detail).
