There is always a battle going on in every field of study of who has the most important job. Like in any field, the film and entertainment industry is no exception. For the longest time, I really thought the only people that were part of a film were the actors (if they looked good) and the director (if there were pictures of them behind the camera). As time has gone on however, I have learned that this is not the case. There are hundreds of individuals who are part of the film making process, be it craft services, 1st AD, Casting Director, Gaffer, Key Grip or the Best Boy. They are the unseen heroes that help make the films, television shows, shorts, and commercials that we have come to know and love a reality. I really want to help shed some light into one such position that I have found most intriguing yet is hardly ever mentioned in the production of animated and live action films. A job which merges my two greatest loves, art and story.
Its a job that lies within the heart of the film, where both a passion for art and an immense love for storytelling collide. Meet the storyboard artist; an individual with a job so important that he has the ability to make or break a film.
