    This is a fantastic course.

    Lyndon is clear, enthusiastic, and likable, and watching these videos is like hanging out at Lyndon’s place, one on one, as he takes the time to explain through exactly what he does at work, and how.

    Hearing him vocalize his thought process and explain through his choices is very helpful. It’s not just how he storyboards, but the why behind it, based on years of career experience and his knowing what to expect from directors.

    This is the third source (book/courses) I’ve absorbed, and so far it’s the one that most gets into the nitty gritty of fleshing out story and boarding. It really allows you to see and experience the amount of time and effort expected of a professional. Very valuable.

    My one comment is that at the very end, I wish Lyndon showed and explained how exactly he presents his final boards. He shows and explains his process. Explains what software he prefers. He shows how he numbers and renumbers files and prepares for presentation. He talks about wanting to make sure everything runs smoothly when talking to directors, but he doesn’t end with a sample, “Okay, with our first pass done, this is how I make my presentation…” Does he just review his frames with the director from his laptop through Bridge? Is there additional editing involved? I think that capper would be a fantastic addition/finale to this video set.

    Just bought it today and I think it is probably one of the best story-boarding classes out there! I am at my second lesson right now and Lyndon already mentioned a lot of mistakes that I make when I am story-boarding. I am very grateful!
    Plus I really glad I get to support real content creators :).

    Lyndon Ruddy explains what a storyboard is and what tools and tricks storyboarders use to tell a story. He showed me what it takes to lay out a sequence all the way from thumbnails to the finished boards. My favorite lesson was on Camera moves and how that translates to storyboards. Lyndon was a cool guy and easy to follow, possibly my favorite course on this site!
