Hi Philip — references to assignments or homework were from a separate live class…I recently added those extra videos here as an added bonus even for those that did not enroll in the live course. Thanks for asking!
If I present a storyboard portfolio with my own ideas and strong work, how am I to ensure that my ideas and animated stories will not be used by the studio to which I am applying?
Hi Leo — it’s always best to keep your portfolio focused on the job you’re applying for. Studios want to know whether you’ll be able to start producing work for them on day-one…anything in the portfolio (like photography) that doesn’t apply to the specific job can dilute the power of your presentation.
thanks, i have another question, is it 25 pages total or per storyboard samples? also i was thinking of doing a storyboard based on the song candy store from heaters the musical but the song has swears in it, should i censor them?
also how much art style vaariety should i put in my portofolio boards? should each of the 5 storyboard be in a diferent style? or should i do more than one in the style i use most regularly? As in not to look like i don’t know what type of storyboarding job i’m looking for while still showing my abilities aren’t limited either
Are there any portfolio websites that you think are good?
Hi Kevin — here are a few good ones:
http://www.ersoz.com/storyboard/storyboard_main.htm
http://andrewhanstoryboard.blogspot.com/
http://lowequality.com/Storyboards.html
Check ’em out…they’re all different approaches, but they get the job done!
Don’t know if I write this here but…
1.Assemble work desk and get my computer set up
2.Read script I am going to create samples from
3.get iPad tripod mount, acork board and a soft light to take pictures of my art for portfolio
And… Continue watching the course videos!
Hello Sherm, I heard you mention a homework assignment in one of the “Portfolio” videos, Is there a link to that assignment? Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Do you have any examples of studio storyboard tests? Or links to.I’m just looking to test my knowledge so far.
Hey Sherm,

oh, another question, can i put some photography work in my portofolio?
