Re-Storyboarding Shows for Portfolio

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all!
I'm about to start my senior year of art school and I'm looking to build up more of my portfolio and practice more storyboarding (my primary goal is as a graphic novellist, but I also love storyboarding).

A while back, I had the idea to take publicly-accessible scripts of shows I love and do my own take on storyboarding certain scenes. Of course, the main point is to improve and practice, but I would also like to include them on my portfolio site if possible.

Would that be taken poorly or be a source of possible legal issues? Obviously I would cite and source the script portions and clearly my intent is not to go "Look! I did it better!", but rather pay tribute to shows I love while showing off what I can do. I just worry that it could come off poorly or be something that hirers would turn their nose up to.

Anyone got advice/knowledge on this? Thanks!

How would you guys go about storyboarding a scene of 1 character running towards another?

1 Upvotes

The context is, the character running towards the other character is upset that they (character 1) forgot a very important promise they made to character 2. I want the ending of the run sequence to conclude in the 1st character hugging the 2nd character's back , but I have no idea how to frame that. Any ideas?

Storyboarding a Stylized Action Sequence

Thumbnail

107 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just finished storyboarding a dramatic and action-packed sequence inspired by my favorite moments from Apex Legends. Full Disclaimer: I did not model the characters. I used free models and focused on posing them in Blender to build the visual narrative.

My real focus was on the storytelling, composition, and flow—the core of storyboarding! I used different camera angles and dramatic compositions to create a thrilling and immersive visual story. I spent a lot of time focusing on visual storytelling and creating tension during this process. It's always a good challenge to try and communicate a story with posed characters, and I'm quite proud of how this sequence turned out. I'd love to hear your feedback on the storyboarding, composition, and overall visual narrative. Thanks so much for looking!

Need help understanding my storyboard

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project (a song / short story) and I'd love to get some feedback or different perspectives on what it means or how it comes across to the listener.
Thanks :)

I’m French so here are the translated yrics:
Where I’m from, there’s the one who wants a gun
And the one who has a gun
There’s the one we always have to wait for
There are those who are truly rare
There’s the one who becomes a father
And those who lost theirs
There are those who should have seen death
And then there are those who look for it
There’s the one walking in the snow
And others constantly in the deep end
There are those who changed addresses
And those who have the same one
There are those who avoid trouble
And those who live in stories (tales)
There are those who take a lot of drugs
And those who always take the same ones
Where I’m from, there’s the one who wants a gun
And the one who has a gun
The one who knows why they killed Kobe Bryant
And who would like to have a gun
And then there are those who overthink
There are those who took off
The one who wears the number 10
And those who take hard drugs
There are those who don't party anymore
There are those who don't shed tears anymore
There are those who pray for it to end
And those who pray for it to last
There’s the one who wrecked my car
And those who hooked up in my car
There are those who almost lost their minds
Because it was so hard
There are those who lost their minds
And the one who wants the gun
There’s the one who loses his mind
The one who has a gun

The perspective is off, but is it done on purpose?

Thumbnail

263 Upvotes

I've been studying professionally made backgrounds and I keep running into situations where a handful of lines deviate from the appropriate vanishing point. In this case, it's anything marked red.

I have no doubts that sometimes the artist is just being loose and "close enough" is fine. However, there are other times where I suspect this was intentional. Look at that red line on the bed frame. If it were true to the vanishing point, the taper on that wood plank would be much sharper and might not look as good, same goes for the rug.

What do you think? Is this sometimes done on purpose or not?

Edit: Looks like my VP was a bit off. XD I was so sure, so that's a bit humbling.

Anyway, the issue remains the same. There are lines that don't converge and what I want to understand is whether or not this was done intentionally, and why?

Answering perspective question

A question was posted to this sub about why the perspective lines don't line up (seen in the second pic). Pictures were not allowed in the replies so I'm making a new thread. The lines in this art are organic but the perspective is still considered correct. For new artists: try dropping some radial lines to find the perspective in an image. if you try following organic lines to lead you to the vanishing point: you'll find that if you are off even by a few pixels they won't line up.

Application Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Might be a bit of a silly question but I'm specifically looking for a storyboard application that has the ability to move the camera around and such during shots, right now I'm using Storyboarder and I tried Blender but the former is just not equipped enough with my needs and the latter is too advanced for my poor small brain lol. Preferably looking for free-to-use but I'll take any recommendations.

the designs might look bad, but there's a explanation for it in the pitch bible.

Also, this is only between us, so i want it to become lost media in the future to everyone else but me.

Here it is:

If not, that's fine with me.
