  1. Do the storyboard's frame numbers correspond to an animation's frame numbers? If so, does the storyboard artist have to keep timing in mind as they work?

    1. Typically no, a storyboard is a general idea of what is going on. If storyboard frame numbers corresponded to animation frame numbers then the number could go well into the thousands.

  2. Are there other types of panels you can use for storyboarding? If there are would all the elements of the panel be arranged in the same way as the one you showed in this post?

    1. Good question! Yes there are other panel types, and no, they do not have to be arranged the same way as I have done mine.
      Here is the url to a post about panels in my blog.

      You'll notice my overall format is the same as to not confuse viewers but each artist may adjust the storyboard layout to a design comfortable to his or herself.
