They Should. The reason they don't Storyboard much anymore is most of Films are done on Location. And w/ all the Multi Camera Work done on TV...Well, it has brought out a relatively New Type of Successful Director who almost Edits on the Fly...Amazing! ...For me, being raised in the Studios, I prefer shooting on a Big Sound Stage or the Back Lot. It enables you to have much more CONTROL the whole Atmosphere/Mood with Lighting, Sets, Wardrobe, Make-up, etc. All the tools you need right at your finger-tips-Old School? Yeah, I know but they made some pretty damn good movies. But today's "Gorilla" type Filming has produced some interesting work, too. I think it all depends on what enables one to get on top and stay on top of one's Vision. ...One last thought, if I were an investor, I'd sure as hell like to see where the hell my money is going. And having a StoryBoard sure helps sell the "Money People"...That, and "Star" power. Steven, Good Luck with your Project. Keep me posted. Sky
"Gorilla"? I'm more of an Orangutan. I like to get the layout down and shoot from that. It's better to be organized and get all your shots done at one location then move to the next.
For small projects I take photos based on my shot list when I am location scouting as I can not draw very well for anything bigger at the moment I use my shot list unless I can get a storyboard artist in on my work
Rick, "an Orangutan"? I love it. Everyone got the point, ORGANIZE your Shoot. Saves Time, Money and Keeps the PACE of the Shoot Moving. It doesn't matter How it's done. Just so You, the D.P. the Talent, etc. can read and understand what You See, Need and Want. It's easier to Captain a Ship and keep the Crew happy and on Your Side, if you KNOW where the hell you're going and HOW to get there. What a wonderful group of Smart, Fun, Artful Film-Makers! I hope You All and me too, Have a Great, Creatively Successful Year!

I almost always use boards but I use a camera and stand ins, wish I had the time/patience to draw them. I always love to see them drawn, S
