Preparing Pre-vis Materials

For my role in the preparation of pre-visualization materials, I was assigned by the designated director to draw the storyboard. I have a decent bit of drawing experience, but fitting the subjects I drew to match the proportions ascribed by the certain types of shots (such as Medium Long shots, Close-ups, etc.) was a bit tricky at first. I also realized that, in order to save some time and not have to constantly re-draw similar frames, I could just use one storyboard shot for 2 or more of the same shot, such as for shot-reverse-shot and over-the-shoulder scenarios. The other pre-vis materials, such as the Overhead list, the shot list and other things, were all somewhat dependent on the Storyboard, which itself is dependent in most cases on the shooting script. So it's better to have that finished soon.
