- [Ben] Hi, I'm Ben Bishop. I'm a comic creator, but today I want to talk a little bit about storyboarding. Storyboarding may be a term you wouldn't normally associate with comics, I know, but actually, for lack of a better term, the same storyboarding techniques used in film, animation, or television are used in almost every professional comic book out there. We will be taking a look at some pages and panels from my original graphic novel The Aggregate, which we will use to discuss and demonstrate how to apply proven storyboard methods to your own comics and break down and analyze some compositional drawing techniques you may not have realized you're already doing. It's no secret Hollywood is hot for comics nowadays, and one of the reasons is that comic artists have already done a good portion of the grunt work for the beginning stages of a film, the storyboarding. Of course, with the similarities, there are also differences, and we're going to talk a bit about those throughout this course.
