Bring Characters to Life with Storyboards
REQUEST A SESSION
Every great movie begins with a plan. In this hands-on workshop, students discover how filmmakers use storyboards to organize ideas, plan scenes, and communicate visual stories before the cameras begin rolling. Through guided activities, students create original characters, explore composition and sequencing, and transform their ideas into expressive storyboards just like those used in professional film production. This creative workshop strengthens storytelling, visual communication, and problem-solving skills while introducing students to an essential part of the filmmaking process.
This workshop is available in-person and online via Zoom.
What to Expect –
Each 60-minute workshop includes a combination of lecture and hands-on activities. To ensure the best experience, we recommend limiting reservations to one class per workshop (up to 30 students). On the day of your workshop, the Teaching Artist will check-in at the front office before navigating to your classroom. The Teaching Artist will arrive 10-15 minutes before the workshop is scheduled to begin, and will quietly set up any needed equipment before beginning their presentation.
If you would like your entire grade level to participate in a workshop, or if you would like to request a date/time or location not listed in the booking calendar, please contact the Media Education Department at [email protected]. We love teaching multiple workshops when visiting your school and we are happy to arrange custom times that better-align with your bell schedule!
This workshop can be facilitated virtually via Zoom. If you would like to schedule a live-virtual “Bring Characters to Life with Storyboards” workshop, please contact the Media Education Department at [email protected].
