This training has been funded by ScreenSkills Animation Skills Fund and is aimed at freelance early career storyboard artists, revisionists and assistants in animated TV series based in the UK.  It will delivered online over 3 weeks and will consist of a mix of masterclasses and assignments finishing with an online networking event to share the work produced and introduce the participants to potential employers

Participants will leave the course with a better understanding of the process of taking a script to storyboard, learn the basics of the industry standard software Storyboard Pro, develop their drawing skills for storyboarding, increase their knowledge of film language, and finally to use all these to test their skills on an existing script
