Storyboard Commentary: Drawing Pans (Panorama Shots)

10. Jun, 2010 5 Comments

In today’s storyboard commentary, the topic is Pans.

“Pan” is short for “Panorama Shot,” a camera move in which we move the viewer from left to right, or right to left, or vertically or diagonally.

on SpongeBob, Phineas & Ferb and Hey Arnold:

I’ve been answering many of your questions in the blog comments, while other questions are answered in the videos. If your question hasn’t been answered yet, It’s probably because I’m trying to answer them in the context of the topic of the posts…so I promise I’ll get to them all ^_^

    You know, all this time, I never realized “pan” was short for “panorama!” I learned this term when I was studying filmmaking as a kid and I actually assumed it was because you hold the panhandle-like handle on the tripod and move that to “pan” the camera. Haha!
