Based on your script, create a full storyboard, using a variety of shot types, well-rendered characters, and locations. This can be done digitally or on paper. If working digitally, one way to begin is to export your script as a Final Draft document (.fdx) (if working in a script program) or a txt document (if working in Microsoft Word). Import this into the script field of the Storyboard window in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro. You’ll drag the relevant dialogue and action descriptions into the Panel window for each corresponding panel. If working in Storyboarder, you can add the text from your script by copying and pasting. Next, illustrate your story. Illustrations should develop your descriptions further, sometimes into more than one panel.
