If you are serious about getting help, you should probably go to my <a href="http://karenjlloyd.com/blog/contact/" rel="nofollow">contact page</a> and email me directly. But answer all that in a comment? By tomorrow? Sorry, no. You can certainly find out what a storyboard *is* by reading the blog. Sorry I can't be of much help on such short notice. I wish you luck though. ~K Well LoLo, you or someone else has asked me this exact same question before.

I have to do speaker notes with a summary or script that must occur in each scene. Please help, I do not know where to start, I don't even know what storyboarding is. I have until tomorrow to turn in my rough draft. If nothing else, can you please tell me where to start? I am freaking out, because I do not have time to do what I do not know anything about. should I just fail this class, or can you help me? I definitely need specifics. Thanks Lo Lo Karen,

I have your samples, I just haven't had a chance to get back to you. Sorry about that! Soon though. :) Well, if you are doing your own film, then as storyboard artist, you are indeed the director too. But on a production it's a little different. On a cartoon, in the live-action sense, the storyboard artist *is* acting as director and director of photography by selecting the shots and deciding what the 'actors' are doing. But in animation, the director's role isn't just all about that. They review the scripts, they approve all the new character, location and prop designs, they approve all the color styling, they go to all the voice recordings, the post-production stuff, as well as having final say on all the storyboards (and more). It's a very big job with a lot of responsibility. It's not just about the storyboards. That's why the best gift to an animation director is a good storyboard artist. It makes their life that much easier. So no, you're not the director. BUT you are *acting* like a traditional director by the decisions you make to tell the story. It's a big responsibility and is appreciated by the actual director. I'll be in touch soon. :) K @ Ashraf – Yes! I have your samples, I just haven’t had a chance to get back to you. Sorry about that!
