A Storyboard Can Save The Day When Building a 3D Walkthrough

One of the best ways to ensure a successful 3D project is the utilization of a storyboard. A storyboard is a visual representation of a concept laid out frame by frame.

Used correctly a storyboard can prevent a disaster in the face of a strict deadline. When presentations are created without using one, the client is kept pretty much in the dark until the presentation is delivered. If there are any mistakes or concepts that were miscommunicated it would be too late.

Storyboards can be vague or very detailed depending on the complexity of the project. Regardless of a projects complexity, it is important that the storyboard clearly reflects the main concepts, transitions and details of the project.

A storyboard should require a sign-off by both the client and company before a project begins. This protects both parties and helps to minimize any grey areas when it comes to the expectations of the end product.

We recently witnessed a major development project with a strict deadline fall into a tough position because the presentation strayed from the storyboard. When the project was delivered, it was very disappointing to the client, and very stressful to the animation company as both had very different expectations.
