Best Tutorial Ever?

Mograph.net has spawned countless careers, including my own. There is a good chance that whether you have been on there or not, over the years you have in some way benefited from the sound advice of Mograph’s very own wise sage, Binky.

Here Binky, also known here as Carey, lays down some great insight into the process of storyboarding and concept development. The title of this post may be a bit loaded but in the sea of mediocre tutorials that focus primarily on the execution of one thing, this tutorial really rises to the top. Whether you are a seasoned vet or a student I think this tutorial has something for you in it.

When starting out, storyboarding is one of those mythical things where there is no right way to do it but seemingly many wrong ways. I really wish this was around a few years ago for my own use!
