Digital storyboards are usually pitched by the artist on a big monitor so the whole room can see. The easiest way for me to do his is to make a PDF file with each panel on a full page. That way I can flip back and forth or jump ahead really quick.
Sometimes (like we did on the recent SpongeBob Movie) the digital boards are still printed out and pinned up so that everyone can see all of the panels at one time. That’s still the best way to do it when you’re trying to see the “big picture” and get a really solid verview of the entire section.
If you use Toon Boom Storyboard Pro you can export the images along with all the dialog as a PDF with any number of panels per page you need. Later on the animatic will be done and sometimes that gets sent around to other execs that want to see the progress.
Haha, I really enjoyed your “bad pitch” voice, I wonder if you were speaking from experiencing someone as nervous as that in action?
Are digital storyboards pitched like this? Or do they just send out the rough animatic?

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
