Sometimes boards come in, and they aren't clear enough. We work with a variety of board artists, and revisions are normal. Here are some examples of storyboard panel revisions, before and after.

Before Revision
Shot 88
Poet is supposed to be a hero "talking tough," but he looks empty and weird.
Is he supposed to be a ghost??

After Revision
Shot 88

Look out, bad guys.

Before Revision
Shot 21
Sad kid, Derrick. No emotion.
He should share his feelings, not hide them; and what does that finger mean?
However, I kept the lower arm pose, to protect his feelings a little.

After Revision
Shot 21

Says it all.

Before Revision
Shot 23
Lily, an aristocratic girl, gives sympathy to sad kid, Derrick.
This gesture is not appropriate for the character, or her intentions.


After Revision Shot 23 Gesture with graceful arcs, friendly open hand.

Before Revision
Shot 35
Bad Guys hiding in bushes.
Unclear emotions, and I can't even recognize the characters.

After Revision
Shot 35

Leader more dominant in composition, proportions corrected, acting clearer.

Before Revision
Shot 70

Thief #1 sneaking through house, knocks over a vase.

Before Revision

Shot 71

Thief #2 catches vase.
Unclear composition, wrong character emphasis, wrong camera angle,
Thief #2 is too far away from the table; action is not clearly staged.
