1. “I’m in a bookshop and I really need that book can you get it for me??? Wait you’ve read that book? let’s have an in depth conversation about it.”

Sometimes, you just better not be in a hurry..

I'm a student putting together a storyboard portfolio to show to animation studios. What types of sequences do studios like to see?

I’m gonna be honest, every studio is different. I’ve had reviews from people who work in the same studios, back to back, each asking for completely different things. Generally, it’s about what your passion is. Are you a comedy boarder? Action? Drama? Play up your strengths. Don’t flipflop to match what one particular studio wants. If they see the quality and vision in your work, they’re going to want you regardless of whether or not it fits their current projects. You’re an investment. When they look at you and see what you can do, they’re not thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for what we’re doing RIGHT NOW”, because often times what they’re doing currently means it’s too late to bring you on. They’re going to be thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for that project that’s JUST starting to gain traction.”So, aside from just doing what you love and playing up your strengths, think about presentation. It’s a matter of A) Presenting your boards in a grid format (say 4x3), or B) as a Clickthru. Clickthrus, in my experience, get the best reception. It allows the reviewer to take in each image one at a time, and see the connection between the panels.Generally, I’ve had TV folk tell me they are fine with Grid format, and Film folk ONLY want Clickthru. This is not a rule, by any means, but maybe it’ll help you depending on where you’re looking to apply.

Good luck!
