Storyboarding...

Due to a tight schedule we decided upon the shot list a few days before shooting. This drastically effected the time I had to create a storyboard, roughing out the shots at the time, then rendering them nicely later that same day.

Rough notes whilst going through shot list
In 'Storyboarding Essentials' it is stated that drawing to the same ratio that the film will appear in is helpful, I decided to try this out. Whilst this wasn't being used as an animatic, etc, it did allow a level of consistency in the drawings, (unlike the slightly inconsistent frames drawn in the rough notes above).

Final Rendered storyboards
Whilst the storyboards gave us a rough idea as to how the shots would look, it transpired we mainly referred to them as a 'shot list' on the first day, rather than following them perfectly. Therefore it didn't seem time effective to draw more for the next day if we were not to use them at all. In hindsight we probably could just have referred to the rough notes/shot list, rather than needing a 'rendered out' version.
