Thumbnail storyboards

 * Before you begin the final storyboards, you must create a rough storyboard with pencil and paper. You should be able to rough out these thumbnail storyboards in about 15 minutes.


 * Let me see!
 * If you can, please send me a copy of your thumbnail storyboards so I can see if you have the right idea. You can email me by  Clicking Here. [[Image:Crystal Clear app xfmail.png|24px]]


 * The next lesson
 * Then immediately go to the next lesson which is 3D storyboards using FrameForge 3D Studio demo.  This is where the fun begins.  [[Image:Crystal Clear action forward.png|20px]]
