1 00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:33.160 Let's talk about storyboarding 2 00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:36.720 If logline is the DNA of the work 3 00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:42.360 And synopsis, its map towards the peak of the mountain 4 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:44.936 Then storyboard is a blueprint of the work 5 00:00:45.599 --> 00:00:49.448 It's better to write a storyboard before you draw for one 6 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.480 What is a written storyboard? 7 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:56.080 It is a prepatory step before you move on to the drawing storyboard 8 00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:00.401 It's where you write out how to visualize your story 9 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:03.400 You can plan for the number of cuts 10 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.942 And it's convenient to overview the narrative dynamic of the whole episode 11 00:01:08.071 --> 00:01:09.639 For example 12 00:01:09.639 --> 00:01:14.695 Cut one, you write the description of what's going on there as well as the line 13 00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:18.239 And cut two, the same description and lines 14 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.000 And you move on with cut three, four, and the final one 15 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.559 You write description and lines of the final cut 16 00:01:25.559 --> 00:01:31.959 There, you visualize what's going on, the events, lines, and narrations 17 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.800 From the first to the last cuts 18 00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.609 And then you write it out in sentences; it's an advanced process of visualization 19 00:01:39.530 --> 00:01:44.839 I realize how much brain energy is required for writing a storyboard 20 00:01:44.839 --> 00:01:48.000 Our brains haven't evolved to first form and abstract the whole 21 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.480 And then divide each into specific steps 22 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.760 Our brains instead first look at details and then combine them 23 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.519 To abtract them into an idea 24 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.021 That's why this process of having short sentences 25 00:02:04.021 --> 00:02:06.959 Of what's going on in the entire episode 26 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.520 And then dividing them into 80 cuts 27 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.975 Is something that requires us to work with our entire brain 28 00:02:14.559 --> 00:02:19.720 Therefore, before writing a storyboard, I advise to 29 00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:23.000 Take lots of rest, work out to induce blood flow in the brain 30 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.800 And start working with that optimal state 31 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.880 Another way is to start with keywords of the episode 32 00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:36.148 And then divide them by cuts afterwards 33 00:02:36.881 --> 00:02:39.265 It doesn't have to be in a chronological order 34 00:02:39.839 --> 00:02:46.919 I use the default Notes app in my iPhone and iPad 35 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.759 I used to work with the app called Evernote 36 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.839 Either is fine 37 00:02:50.839 --> 00:02:55.119 If you're a Galaxy user, you will have the designated app too 38 00:02:55.119 --> 00:03:00.479 You could use Google Docs, anything that can sync easily 39 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.520 Among your phone, your laptop and your tablet 40 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.839 We may be working at home 41 00:03:07.839 --> 00:03:11.699 But we may be in a bus ride when we think of a line 42 00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:15.404 Or we may have to work on our storyboard at a coffee shop 43 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.679 If you have to wait until you get home because the work isn't synced 44 00:03:20.679 --> 00:03:23.479 It's very likely that you'll forget 45 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.067 So I recommend that you use an app is portable and that syncs well 46 00:03:29.710 --> 00:03:34.479 Another key is, use an app that allows for numbering 47 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.639 Meaning, you do not need to type for the numbers, 1, 2, 3 or 4 48 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.856 If you press enter, the app will do the numbering for you 49 00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.167 And that's what you need 50 00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:50.279 Because you will be changing the order of the cuts 51 00:03:50.279 --> 00:03:53.160 And you will be dividing a cut into two 52 00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:57.919 If you have to change the numbers all by yourself 53 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.724 That's a very unncessary work 54 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.960 So some artists prefer using Excel for storyboarding 55 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.880 Which I think is a good idea too 56 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.115 Let me show you a template 57 00:04:12.679 --> 00:04:14.996 See how there's an Excel sheet 58 00:04:17.501 --> 00:04:18.880 With the numbering 59 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:23.160 Cut one, cut two, cut three, moving on 60 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.856 And the final cut, there's the numbering 61 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:35.720 Situation, description, line, narration 62 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.920 And how to visualize that 63 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:44.384 This is a good way to storyboard using an Excel sheet 64 00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:49.802 Let me take an example from my written storyboard 65 00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:57.078 This is epsidoe one from 'Island of Webtoon Artist' 66 00:04:58.761 --> 00:04:59.821 Let me show you 67 00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:03.239 See how it's all numbered 68 00:05:03.239 --> 00:05:08.020 From cut one to the final cut, cut 85 69 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.279 There's a description of what's going on for cut one 70 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.591 Jo Hyang-Mi with her head stuck in sand 71 00:05:16.799 --> 00:05:19.679 Same shot, Jo Hyang-Mi is struggling 72 00:05:19.679 --> 00:05:23.119 Same shot again, Jo Hyang-Mi puts her head up 73 00:05:23.119 --> 00:05:24.760 Her eyes are still blank 74 00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:27.804 Cut four, she sees a blurry image of her hands 75 00:05:28.239 --> 00:05:31.040 And she gets focus on her hands 76 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.695 Cut five, and now focus to the background 77 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.959 Cut six, a wide shot with the background and Jo Hyang-Mi 78 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.839 Jo Hyang-Mi slowly gets up 79 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.440 Seagulls are around, squawking 80 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:46.160 And finally, the narration 81 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.839 My name is Jo Hyang-Mi 82 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.505 And Jo Hyang-Mi searches her backpack 83 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.320 Cut eight, that's what it said 84 00:05:53.320 --> 00:05:57.799 Cut nine, narration, 'I'm a Webtoon artist', that's the line 85 00:05:57.799 --> 00:05:59.757 'Thank god it's not wet' is the next line 86 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.200 That's what I wrote for 87 00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:07.915 Episode one of Webtoon 'Island of Webtoon Artist' 88 00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:13.835 Notice how I ended it at cut 85 for this storyboard 89 00:06:15.330 --> 00:06:20.279 You need to make sure that you don't have too many cuts 90 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.383 If there are too many 91 00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:27.079 For a written storyboard, for example, if you have until cut 85 92 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.000 Then for drawing the storyboard 93 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.959 Often times you'll have more cuts than this 94 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.160 Which will be around 90 to 100 cuts 95 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.016 That's too much workload 96 00:06:37.491 --> 00:06:41.917 And the readers may get tired reading it 97 00:06:42.679 --> 00:06:45.320 So I personally perfer to 98 00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:48.384 Not exceed 80 cuts for each episode 99 00:06:49.027 --> 00:06:52.901 My ideal number for cuts is 60 100 00:06:54.119 --> 00:06:56.895 But recently Webtoons are getting longer than that 101 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.239 So I usually say go for around 80 102 00:07:02.239 --> 00:07:03.760 And some students tend to 103 00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:07.640 Put too much content in each cut for written storyboard 104 00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:13.440 You must only include things that can fit into a cut 105 00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.640 For example, for the written storyboard 106 00:07:15.640 --> 00:07:19.720 'Dolbae gets up from her chair, rushes out with an angry face' 107 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.324 Let's say that's the scene 108 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.920 This cannot be visualized in one cut 109 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.640 Because you need a cut of getting up 110 00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:31.600 Another for leaving the spot with an angry face 111 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.760 And another for leaving the place 112 00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:34.824 You need at least three for this scene 113 00:07:35.359 --> 00:07:38.640 So once you imagine in your head how to visualize the scene 114 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:42.137 You will then realize how to produce cuts out of it 115 00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:46.000 If you cannot imagine it in one single cut 116 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.609 That means you have to divide cuts 117 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.045 In contrast, some cuts may be too chopped up, and you will need to combine them 118 00:07:54.679 --> 00:07:56.797 Start with the written storyboard 119 00:07:58.133 --> 00:08:01.519 And once you think you're ready with the written one 120 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.320 Then, you do not 121 00:08:03.320 --> 00:08:06.334 Necessarily have to execute it as it is 122 00:08:06.799 --> 00:08:10.600 Some cuts will be left out for the drawing storyboard 123 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.760 Some may be merged, some may be added anew 124 00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:19.480 Written storyboard is only a step towards improving the drawing version 125 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.286 So it can be revised later 126 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.519 And for writing a storyboard 127 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.119 I have a collection of 128 00:08:29.119 --> 00:08:31.200 Frequent mistakes 129 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:33.964 And some advices I like to give 130 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.119 First, a list of what you should be doing 131 00:08:39.119 --> 00:08:42.239 Always write the cut number, one, two, or three 132 00:08:42.239 --> 00:08:46.599 Some people skip with the cut number, let me show you 133 00:08:46.599 --> 00:08:48.130 I told you that I'm using Notes 134 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.491 See, let me write some here 135 00:08:57.719 --> 00:09:01.039 I type '1' and press Space 136 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.215 And see how it automatically does the numbering 137 00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:09.960 'Dolbae is walking down the street' 138 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.119 '2. She finds something on her way' 139 00:09:14.119 --> 00:09:15.440 And her line 140 00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:18.440 'What is that?' that's the line 141 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:24.629 '3. Close-up on her eyes' 142 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.000 'A wallet' 143 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.479 So with this scene 144 00:09:28.479 --> 00:09:30.873 I wrote until cut four 145 00:09:31.239 --> 00:09:32.982 If I forget numbering 146 00:09:34.239 --> 00:09:35.640 'Dolbae is walking down the street' 147 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:39.998 And if I want to add another cut 148 00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:46.000 'She is humming' 149 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.719 Notice how I just pressed Enter 150 00:09:47.719 --> 00:09:51.520 It moves cut two to three automatically 151 00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:53.200 And cut three to four 152 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.988 And it automatically does the numbering 153 00:09:56.037 --> 00:10:01.239 That's why you need an app that does the numbering 154 00:10:01.239 --> 00:10:02.960 Always include the cut number 155 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.919 Because, I have until cut five here 156 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.000 For example, cut six 157 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.714 Or say, if we go over cut 120 158 00:10:13.189 --> 00:10:18.080 And if we have no idea what cut number this is, we'll get lost 159 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.359 So, for example, when communicating with the PD 160 00:10:23.359 --> 00:10:26.559 'I like this better for the line at cut 20' 161 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.119 Like this, it's more convenient to talk to others 162 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:32.679 Also, you get to know the total cut number 163 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.327 So I consider this indispensible 164 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:36.559 So always number your cut 165 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.811 Always write how many cuts you have 166 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.440 Only one emotion should fit into one cut 167 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.537 And with the same reason, one information should fit into one cut 168 00:10:49.221 --> 00:10:52.425 If the information is passing, it doesn't matter 169 00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:55.760 In the same manner, it doesn't matter for a passing emotion 170 00:10:55.760 --> 00:10:59.119 But if an information and an emotion 171 00:10:59.119 --> 00:11:00.797 If these two fit into one cut together 172 00:11:01.599 --> 00:11:03.679 That cut loses its power 173 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.638 For example, to deliver some deep sorrow 174 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:13.320 You need to minimize the information, including the line 175 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.719 That emotion should be visualized fully using that whole cut 176 00:11:16.719 --> 00:11:18.440 And if some information is very important 177 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.080 And if it is essential to deliver the information 178 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.200 Remove the emotion, only deliver the information 179 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.727 And deliver the emotion in the next cut 180 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.400 Because emotions are powerful, it's better to dedicate a scene for one 181 00:11:33.400 --> 00:11:35.640 And information, it takes time 182 00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:38.840 Readers take time to consume that information 183 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.403 So it's important to deliver one of it with one cut 184 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.061 It's okay if the emotion or the information is passing 185 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.840 Also, for lines, if there are more than four speech bubbles 186 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.840 That may be too much information 187 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.006 Too little or too much, either is problematic 188 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.239 You may be wondering what I mean by this 189 00:11:59.239 --> 00:12:01.291 Let's say this is a cut 190 00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.143 Let's say there's the speech bubble 191 00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:09.281 This is one 192 00:12:11.479 --> 00:12:13.598 Two, we have two bubbles 193 00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.454 So this must be the line 194 00:12:19.880 --> 00:12:21.400 And another here 195 00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:22.202 So that's three 196 00:12:25.479 --> 00:12:26.640 Now, this feels a lot starting here 197 00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:28.280 But until three, you can bear with it 198 00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:29.629 But four? 199 00:12:31.599 --> 00:12:34.090 That's too much information, in my standard 200 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.719 So avoid having more than four speech bubbles 201 00:12:38.719 --> 00:12:41.608 Maximum three, though I consider two is the optimal 202 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.960 More than four, I think it's way too much 203 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.919 If a cut needs more than four speech bubbles 204 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.802 It's better to split it and use it in the next cut 205 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.880 And another important thing is 206 00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:59.080 Especially for writing or drawing storyboard 207 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.435 You need to be able to revise it at any time 208 00:13:02.267 --> 00:13:05.989 A storyboard must be something temporary 209 00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:12.559 If you are under some pressure of making it too perfect 210 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.119 Or if you're expecting too much out of it, you won't be able to revise it 211 00:13:15.119 --> 00:13:17.400 So always consider it revisable 212 00:13:17.400 --> 00:13:19.239 And consider it temporary 213 00:13:19.239 --> 00:13:20.955 And take it not too seriously 214 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.014 If you want to revise it, do so at any time 215 00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:28.799 And for drawing storyboard, you really need to draft it 216 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.159 If you put too much effort into it, you won't be able to change it 217 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.080 Because you don't want to put it to waste 218 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:38.159 So drawing storyboard should be as fast and lighthearted as it could get 219 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.840 And to do the drawing part like so 220 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.440 And to do the drawing part so that 221 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.919 You will be able to revise it later 222 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.159 You need a solid written storyboard 223 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.192 This is the reason we have a written storyboard 224 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.479 So after writing and then drawing storyboard 225 00:13:54.479 --> 00:13:56.719 Something you should avoid is 226 00:13:56.719 --> 00:13:59.273 Don't cram too much into a cut 227 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.880 For those new to storyboard production 228 00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:06.704 They tend to put too much information into one cut 229 00:14:07.239 --> 00:14:09.039 A lot of lines 230 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.187 A lot of facial expressions 231 00:14:13.108 --> 00:14:16.549 A lot of little scenes 232 00:14:16.549 --> 00:14:20.440 Especially for written storyboard, this is the tendency 233 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.466 So make sure to only put in as much as is needed 234 00:14:25.119 --> 00:14:28.290 And make sure not too use too many cuts for an episode 235 00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:32.677 As I told you, around 80 cuts is the optimal number 236 00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:38.599 In fact, 80 cuts isn't that much compared to the amount of story to deliver 237 00:14:38.599 --> 00:14:40.840 You may consider it too little 238 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.383 But adding too many cuts for an episode 239 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.840 This may satisfy the artist in delivering the narrative 240 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.039 But the readers may get tired 241 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.320 And the artist themselves may get tired of drawing for it 242 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.320 So in my opinion, it's very important not to put 243 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.139 Too many things into one episode 244 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:05.760 And you may encounter yourselves obsessing over 245 00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:09.855 Ending with a strong finishing cut 246 00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:14.239 But it's better not to be consumed with the ambition 247 00:15:14.239 --> 00:15:16.365 For the powerful ending cut 248 00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:20.599 Of course, it's great to have a powerful finish 249 00:15:20.599 --> 00:15:24.316 But you don't need to pressure yourself too much with this 250 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.599 Another thing to avoid is 251 00:15:27.599 --> 00:15:30.708 To avoid overlapping lines 252 00:15:31.599 --> 00:15:33.730 Or overlapping words 253 00:15:33.730 --> 00:15:35.760 This is very important and 254 00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:40.239 For lines, something crucial is not to make them difficult 255 00:15:40.239 --> 00:15:43.066 Make sure it's as friendly or easy to understand as possible 256 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.683 And don't obsess over the lines you wrote 257 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.359 If a line is unnecessary, you need to be able to 258 00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:51.570 Delete it and replace it with something else 259 00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:56.320 That was on writing for a storyboard 260 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.479 And how do we write a storyboard? 261 00:15:58.479 --> 00:16:03.400 As I told you, you will be using apps 262 00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:05.929 Such as Evernote, Notes and others 263 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.416 Here's the written storyboard for 'Yuli' Season Two 264 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.477 This is what I have here 265 00:16:14.239 --> 00:16:19.280 From cut one, cut two to the final cut 266 00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:20.594 This is how I write it 267 00:16:21.119 --> 00:16:26.948 And when I want to change up the orders 268 00:16:27.760 --> 00:16:32.520 I click, drag, copy and delete 269 00:16:32.520 --> 00:16:36.599 And paste where I want it to be 270 00:16:36.599 --> 00:16:41.184 And it numbers automatically for the cut number 271 00:16:41.719 --> 00:16:42.785 You could do this or 272 00:16:43.359 --> 00:16:45.039 I also do it like this 273 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.933 Something like this 274 00:16:47.190 --> 00:16:50.917 I have cut one, cut two, all the written part 275 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.905 And when I think I'm done 276 00:16:56.479 --> 00:16:58.584 I change the color of the font 277 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.115 So the grey part means that I've already done this 278 00:17:03.719 --> 00:17:06.640 And black part is something I have to work on 279 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.590 That's the visual cue I could add 280 00:17:10.590 --> 00:17:11.677 That's another way to do it 281 00:17:12.439 --> 00:17:20.829 And as I showed you earlier, I also often write it on an Excel Sheet template 282 00:17:21.760 --> 00:17:24.367 Cut two, lines 283 00:17:27.020 --> 00:17:29.162 'What is this?' Some lines like this 284 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.719 If it has no narration, I leave it empty 285 00:17:32.719 --> 00:17:33.733 Visualization 286 00:17:36.257 --> 00:17:40.640 It's a top view, from top to bottom 287 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.755 That's the visualization choice I can take 288 00:17:44.626 --> 00:17:47.666 That was the written storyboard, how was it? 289 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.069 Writing Good Lines 290 00:17:52.198 --> 00:17:54.160 Writing for a storyboard isn't too hard 291 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.786 What's really fun and difficult at the same time is drawing it 292 00:17:58.479 --> 00:18:01.160 So let me now talk about something really important 293 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:04.067 Writing for lines 294 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.483 Writing lines is hard, isn't it? It indeed is 295 00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:10.810 Many Webtoon artists consider lines very difficult 296 00:18:12.760 --> 00:18:14.560 Many people also ask me 297 00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:16.239 'How do you write your lines?' 298 00:18:16.239 --> 00:18:18.560 'I'd like to write great lines, how do I do it?' 299 00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:20.198 People often ask me like this 300 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.280 But you know what, everyone? 301 00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:28.719 Those who can speak fluently can write great lines 302 00:18:28.719 --> 00:18:29.880 In my opinion 303 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.063 And those who've read a lot of books 304 00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:35.560 They're able to use different vocabularies 305 00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:38.800 And those who've consumed various contents 306 00:18:38.800 --> 00:18:40.920 They often do not hesitate to write lines 307 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.640 Same with every other creative process 308 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:49.000 The more input you have, the better output you have for writing lines 309 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.719 So I recommend that you read a lot 310 00:18:52.719 --> 00:18:55.439 And consume a lot of language-based contents 311 00:18:55.439 --> 00:18:59.173 And you could try journaling, writing novels 312 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.888 Or writing poetry, which are great exercises 313 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.560 For writing lines, I recommend reading 314 00:19:07.560 --> 00:19:10.025 And writing a lot of poetry 315 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.599 There are many types of poetry 316 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.315 And some great collections as well 317 00:19:16.959 --> 00:19:19.959 I think it's the best to try and read as much as possible 318 00:19:19.959 --> 00:19:23.640 And go with the collections that suit you 319 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.168 It's hard to pinpoint which is good or better 320 00:19:27.346 --> 00:19:32.319 Linguistic creativity is different from the visual one 321 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.755 It requires you to take your time and practice for it 322 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.400 I'm also trying to read and 323 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.260 Write a lot myself in order to practice 324 00:19:43.725 --> 00:19:46.297 Let's now talk about good lines 325 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.436 What makes a line good? 326 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.880 In my opinion, a good line is 327 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.880 A clear description of the situation 328 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.599 Something implicative yet concise 329 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:04.199 Many people desire for writing lines with advanced literary techniques 330 00:20:04.199 --> 00:20:08.640 However, the number one priority for a Webtoon artist is 331 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.889 To make readers understand it easily 332 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:15.844 That's an important rule of thumb for writing lines 333 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.415 If there's no reason to, try not to 334 00:20:18.415 --> 00:20:21.640 Repeat the same word twice in a sentence 335 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.666 And don't let the line drag without a purpose 336 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.035 Make it concise and dense with relevant content 337 00:20:30.510 --> 00:20:33.934 It's also important to make things clear by using full sentneces 338 00:20:34.479 --> 00:20:39.000 So don't get greedy from the beginning and start with general lines 339 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.199 Start with what you have in your head 340 00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:43.787 And then revise it 341 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.138 Some tips for writing good lines 342 00:20:49.811 --> 00:20:52.057 First, make it easy to understand 343 00:20:52.760 --> 00:20:55.520 Readers must be able to understand it 344 00:20:55.520 --> 00:20:59.520 However beautiful a line may be, if the readers can't accept it 345 00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:02.095 That line will just echo in a blank space 346 00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:04.447 If there's a difficult word 347 00:21:04.447 --> 00:21:07.067 If you can, replace it with an easier word 348 00:21:07.770 --> 00:21:10.755 And second, make it as concise as possible 349 00:21:11.290 --> 00:21:16.947 Describe the scene, but use implicative word that penetrates the context 350 00:21:17.522 --> 00:21:21.474 A line should be condensed and economical 351 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.615 Use as few words to describe as much 352 00:21:26.239 --> 00:21:29.035 Every line contains a directionality 353 00:21:29.035 --> 00:21:32.416 Towards which the synopsis, the theme, and the plot are leading 354 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.473 So make every line count 355 00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:40.936 And make sure to remove overlapping words 356 00:21:41.520 --> 00:21:46.400 If without purpose, don't make a sentence repeat a word 357 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:51.900 For example, 'The flower you gave me is so pretty,' 358 00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:55.053 'I put it in a vase and the flower got even prettier' 359 00:21:55.479 --> 00:22:01.400 'The flower you gave me, it got even prettier in a vase' 360 00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:05.027 I removed overlapping words, 'flower' and 'pretty' 361 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.400 This is the advised way 362 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.465 Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar are essential 363 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.719 Best scenario is that you become the master of spelling and grammar 364 00:22:15.719 --> 00:22:19.719 But if not, it's also advised to use grammar checkers 365 00:22:19.719 --> 00:22:22.609 To revise any errors in your lines 366 00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:30.344 There are many kinds of grammar checkers 367 00:22:31.760 --> 00:22:32.920 You can use this 368 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:43.000 Click 'Check' and it says nothing has been revised 369 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.319 You can use this or 370 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.389 I'm using this grammar checker 371 00:22:53.439 --> 00:22:55.520 Made by Pusan National University 372 00:22:55.520 --> 00:22:57.479 Remember the storyboard? 373 00:22:57.479 --> 00:23:11.000 I copy and paste it here, and it checks for everything 374 00:23:15.455 --> 00:23:18.880 There are such online tools for proofreading 375 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:20.586 So please use them freely 376 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.880 And remember not to perfect the lines from the beginning 377 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.760 Start with improvisational lines that pop up in your head 378 00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:32.400 And then shape them later 379 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.894 As you linger on a line, it will get better 380 00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:38.410 If you get tense trying to write 381 00:23:38.410 --> 00:23:41.374 The best line from the start, it will be difficult 382 00:23:41.800 --> 00:23:47.266 And in my opinion, one of the common mistakes is fragmented sentence 383 00:23:47.949 --> 00:23:50.378 Always avoid fragmented sentences 384 00:23:51.130 --> 00:23:57.834 We easily and mistakenly assume that we all think in a same way 385 00:23:58.280 --> 00:24:03.681 But even for one same book, people have different levels of understanding 386 00:24:03.681 --> 00:24:07.127 So the best thing is to write a clear line 387 00:24:07.959 --> 00:24:10.920 And try to have a complete sentence 388 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.839 And try to avoid any fragmented sentences 389 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.334 For example, this is the line 390 00:24:18.760 --> 00:24:22.104 'If you choose to do so, then....' 391 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:24.560 With this line 392 00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:29.479 The intention is that 'if you choose to act that way, it makes me sad' 393 00:24:29.479 --> 00:24:34.543 But every reader will imagine the later part of the sentence differently 394 00:24:34.959 --> 00:24:38.800 'If you choose to do so, I will betray you' is an example 395 00:24:38.800 --> 00:24:41.359 'If you choose to do so, I will hit you' 396 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:46.644 'If you choose to do so, I will share your secret to everyone' 397 00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:49.939 Every reader will have their own conclusion 398 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.199 And that's unwanted confusion 399 00:24:53.199 --> 00:24:56.488 So use fragmented sentence only when it's needed 400 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.555 And instead of telling, try to show 401 00:25:03.199 --> 00:25:06.992 If any detail can be visualized instead of being described 402 00:25:06.992 --> 00:25:08.924 Let's visualize it 403 00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:13.371 For example, a character walks into a room 404 00:25:13.371 --> 00:25:14.937 And says this 405 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.079 'Wow, what a cute room!' 406 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.880 'A warm ray of light, yellow freesia decoration by the window' 407 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.134 'Red curtain swaying in some breeze' 408 00:25:24.134 --> 00:25:27.180 'And a clean white rug on the floor' 409 00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:29.025 Let's say this is the line 410 00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:33.175 All these sentences can be visualized 411 00:25:33.175 --> 00:25:35.265 In one big cut without any lines 412 00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:38.119 Another example is 413 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:44.400 Let's say two strangers are sitting across each other at a coffee shop 414 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.436 As one person talks to the other, they are thinking 415 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.359 'Oh, how messy this person is eating!' 416 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.920 Instead of expressing this thought in a sentence 417 00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.244 You can add a few cuts of the other person being messy 418 00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.520 And the person across them with a frowning face 419 00:26:01.520 --> 00:26:03.949 This will be a visualized version of the same thought 420 00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:08.040 However, in contrast, if you try too much to reduce lines 421 00:26:08.040 --> 00:26:10.995 It may hinder the delivery of meaning 422 00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:14.915 That's why you need to include the necessary lines 423 00:26:15.479 --> 00:26:18.725 There are moments where the lines become necessary 424 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:24.000 If there are too many cuts to visualize 425 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:29.155 An implicative line can replace all this information 426 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.119 Next, use lines based on the character 427 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.479 How would this character say it? 428 00:26:35.479 --> 00:26:41.520 Based on this circumstance, family background, some trauma from past 429 00:26:41.520 --> 00:26:43.584 What would be the psychological condition? 430 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.824 How would this character think? 431 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.765 They should speak based on their nature 432 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:54.655 Try acting that character out 433 00:26:55.160 --> 00:27:00.680 Vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, expressions, phrases, speed 434 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.317 Try to shape that language like so 435 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.599 In order to do this well, you need to listen well 436 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.586 The voices from the people around you 437 00:27:10.239 --> 00:27:14.673 Their expression, vocabulary, tone, grammar 438 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.797 Listen to them carefully, and write it down if needed 439 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:24.040 People express their hidden thoughts, expressions and desires 440 00:27:24.040 --> 00:27:30.359 Through this action that is like a tip of the iceberg 441 00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.439 So that little line includes 442 00:27:33.439 --> 00:27:36.844 This entire whole inside it 443 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:42.872 And next, try to speak the line out loud 444 00:27:43.268 --> 00:27:48.406 If it feels awkward, try speaking it out loud 445 00:27:49.439 --> 00:27:55.024 Writing and speaking may feel very different 446 00:27:55.479 --> 00:27:59.816 Some people, in order to make very natural lines 447 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.921 Try and speak the lines out by themselves 448 00:28:03.921 --> 00:28:09.084 And this may encourage one to think of the lines that are more natural 449 00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:13.400 So that was on writing lines 450 00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.314 Now, let's talk about revising the lines 451 00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.599 As I told you, I advise that you start with outlining your lines 452 00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:23.025 And then revise them later 453 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:28.119 After completing the draft of the line, it's time to revise it 454 00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.760 I have a book for reference 455 00:28:30.760 --> 00:28:32.473 I recommend this to you all 456 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.651 This is the book 457 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.847 The title is 'How Do I Begin Proofreading My Sentences?' 458 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:46.640 I came across this book at a book store, I bought it immediately 459 00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:51.160 Based on the author's exprience at a publishing company for over ten years 460 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:55.317 This book is a collection of common mistakes that teaches us how to proofread them 461 00:28:56.446 --> 00:28:59.199 They are ways to proofread for publishing 462 00:28:59.199 --> 00:29:02.760 But a lot of this overlaps with Webtoon lines 463 00:29:02.760 --> 00:29:04.327 So I highly recommend this 464 00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:11.119 Let me tlak about a few things from this book 465 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.588 That can be helpful for our line writing 466 00:29:14.439 --> 00:29:17.268 First, do not omit too much 467 00:29:18.040 --> 00:29:20.964 For example, let's say this is the line 468 00:29:21.479 --> 00:29:25.160 One of the reasons why we are afraid of people even as grownups is 469 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:28.880 For strict parents, they feel pressured even in their work 470 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.604 And they keep doubting themselves about potential mistakes 471 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:35.208 This sentence seems wrong at first glance 472 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:40.752 Now it says, there is a readon why we are afraid of people even as grownups 473 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.227 One possibility is having been raised by strict parents 474 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.640 They will feel pressured even at work 475 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:50.115 Keep doubting themselves about any potential mistakes 476 00:29:50.719 --> 00:29:52.479 This sounds much better 477 00:29:52.479 --> 00:29:55.826 Do not omit too much, explicate a little more 478 00:29:56.479 --> 00:29:57.912 Another example is 479 00:29:58.070 --> 00:30:02.871 I put the evidence in the box, remaining vigilant for people 480 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.920 This becomes, As I was putting the evidence in the box 481 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.845 I made sure that no one was watching 482 00:30:11.479 --> 00:30:14.560 Or, as I was putting the evidence in the box 483 00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:17.435 I made sure not to bump into anyone 484 00:30:17.930 --> 00:30:19.807 This sounds much better 485 00:30:20.530 --> 00:30:24.683 And in the chapter 'Is This Word Really Fitting' 486 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:29.199 The sentence is, 'It was revealed that Kim did the staging' 487 00:30:29.199 --> 00:30:33.474 This becomes 'it was revealed that Kim staged it for himself' 488 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.954 Another example, 'I gave a flower gift for my friend' 489 00:30:39.271 --> 00:30:41.560 'I gifted my friend some flower' 490 00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:45.447 This is how you replace the words to improve the sentence 491 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:50.705 'Please make sure that no unnecessary heating is used' 492 00:30:51.150 --> 00:30:54.053 'Please make sure not to use heating excessively' 493 00:30:54.439 --> 00:30:57.319 Or another one, 'In order to achieve the goal' 494 00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:58.986 'We need communication and collaboration' 495 00:30:59.560 --> 00:31:02.324 'In order to achieve the goal, we need to communicate and collaborate' 496 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.744 Even minor changes can significantly impact the meaning 497 00:31:08.239 --> 00:31:14.173 And next, in the chapter 'Getting Subject-Verb Agreement Right Will Take You Halfway There' 498 00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:19.359 For example, 'Mom after shower smell like lemon' 499 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:21.239 The subject and the verb do not agree 500 00:31:21.239 --> 00:31:22.383 Mom and smell 501 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.441 Instead, 'Mom after shower smelled like lemon' 502 00:31:26.441 --> 00:31:29.375 This will do it 503 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.119 'Let's become someone who acknowledges myself' sounds okay 504 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.959 But reading the revised version 505 00:31:34.959 --> 00:31:37.316 I realized how much better it has become 506 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.025 'Let's acknowledge myself' is much better 507 00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:44.744 Another example, 'I went into home and into the room' 508 00:31:45.199 --> 00:31:47.105 'Into' is redundant 509 00:31:47.719 --> 00:31:50.920 So this becomes 'I came home and went into the room' 510 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:52.729 This will be much better 511 00:31:53.719 --> 00:31:54.760 Another example is 512 00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:59.040 The second drawer of the drawer in the bedroom is my mom's secret drawer 513 00:31:59.040 --> 00:32:02.119 Notice how 'drawer' is repeating three times 514 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:06.655 'The second drawer in the bedroom is my mom's secret place' 515 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.719 This sentence has become much more meaningful 516 00:32:11.719 --> 00:32:14.640 In my opinion, doing little revisions like this 517 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.385 Will help you make much better lines 518 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:19.400 Another chapter says 519 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.760 Give clearer information 520 00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:24.359 Meaning, if there needs to be some line 521 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.015 It should be clear, rather than vague 522 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:28.920 Here's an example 523 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.494 'Park was bleeding, collapsed under a building' 524 00:32:32.850 --> 00:32:36.479 Park was bleeding, collapsed in front of a building' 525 00:32:36.479 --> 00:32:39.925 'In front of' is a much clearer piece of information than 'under' for a building 526 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.599 And 'This ingredient protects any hair damage' 527 00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.593 Damage is not something you protect 528 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:48.265 Damage is something you should prevent 529 00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:52.230 'This ingredient prevents any hair damage' 530 00:32:52.230 --> 00:32:53.468 This is much better 531 00:32:54.794 --> 00:32:58.959 And this is the mistake I've often made 532 00:32:58.959 --> 00:33:01.094 Writing for my lines 533 00:33:01.520 --> 00:33:04.400 It's better to deliver more 534 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.018 And clearer piece of information 535 00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:11.599 I think this is another great example 536 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:16.599 'This course has four sessions, and the fee is 100,000 won' 537 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.359 So does a collection of four sessions cost 100,000 won? 538 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.599 Or does each of the four sessions cost 100,000 won? 539 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.479 So say, 'this course consists of four sessions' 540 00:33:24.479 --> 00:33:26.319 'And the fee is 100,000 won' 541 00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:30.527 This adds more information to the explanation 542 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:34.833 And we need to use words that we actually use 543 00:33:35.625 --> 00:33:39.956 Colloquial expressions are different from literary expressions 544 00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:43.160 If our lines sound too grammatical 545 00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.800 Or if we write a line considering it a written language 546 00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:49.880 We may use some word that we don't say in an actual dialogue 547 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.479 For example, 'This person may be the killer!' 548 00:33:53.479 --> 00:33:57.477 'How come have you thought so?' 549 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:00.680 This phrase, 'how come have you...' 550 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.239 This is something we don't usually use in our colloquial language 551 00:34:04.239 --> 00:34:08.199 If we say instead 'why do you think so?' 552 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:09.934 This will be a much better line 553 00:34:10.667 --> 00:34:15.829 Next, always be careful with passive and active voices 554 00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.919 For example, 'Manager Park made the reservation be canceled with a phone call' 555 00:34:19.919 --> 00:34:23.479 'Manager Park canceled the reservation with a phone call' 556 00:34:23.479 --> 00:34:26.797 Like this, be careful with passive and active voices 557 00:34:27.520 --> 00:34:31.602 Also, it's good to remove phrases like 'in order to' 558 00:34:31.879 --> 00:34:34.919 For example, 'In running a company' 559 00:34:34.919 --> 00:34:37.414 'I consider honesty the most important factor' 560 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:40.775 This can be 'when I run a company' 561 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:44.040 'I consider honesty the most important factor' 562 00:34:44.040 --> 00:34:46.028 This is a much better revision 563 00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:49.676 I have told you about many examples 564 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:53.760 And this book is full of great examples 565 00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.199 So please take a look at it yourselves 566 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.800 Proofreading and revising lines is actually very difficult 567 00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.600 I also consider lines very difficult 568 00:34:59.600 --> 00:35:02.399 We did not study literature 569 00:35:02.399 --> 00:35:05.758 And nor did we have professional background in writing 570 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:10.855 A line can be revised a million times before the final completion 571 00:35:11.439 --> 00:35:15.320 Some lines work as they are born 572 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.120 And some line require a lot of thinking before the final submission 573 00:35:19.120 --> 00:35:22.808 That require a lot of revising as well 574 00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:26.000 If writing lines is difficult for you 575 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.954 I recommend you try and read as much as possible 576 00:35:29.410 --> 00:35:31.080 Any book is great 577 00:35:31.080 --> 00:35:35.919 But as I told you, I especially recommend poetry and novel 578 00:35:35.919 --> 00:35:38.239 Try writing a poem yourselves as well 579 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.080 Try writing a poem a day 580 00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:43.360 I used to write a poem a day when I was a child 581 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.919 I would sometime write a funny poem 582 00:35:45.919 --> 00:35:48.565 Or a poem about the food I had for the day 583 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.879 Or a poem about some abstract concept about a word 584 00:35:53.879 --> 00:35:57.879 It really trained me a lot 585 00:35:57.879 --> 00:35:59.704 It was a valuable experience 586 00:36:00.080 --> 00:36:03.246 I hope you get to write many great lines 587 00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.840 And we are moving on to drawing storyboard 588 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.994 Before that, as we're talking about writing storyboard 589 00:36:11.479 --> 00:36:13.813 How was it, writing storyboards yourselves? 590 00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:17.961 Isn't it very difficult and time consuming? 591 00:36:19.040 --> 00:36:20.679 Storyboards are meant to be difficult 592 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:24.176 It's a very difficult and time consuming work 593 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.679 Never worry about your storyboard being not as good 594 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.325 You can revise your storyboard as much you you want 595 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:33.226 As much as time permits, actually 596 00:36:33.919 --> 00:36:37.919 A story can generate various storyboards 597 00:36:37.919 --> 00:36:41.159 And choosing one out of such many possibilities 598 00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:43.419 This embodies the idiosyncracy of the artist 599 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.399 The biggest goal of webtoon production is 600 00:36:47.399 --> 00:36:50.600 A clear delivery of the story 601 00:36:50.600 --> 00:36:54.040 So rather than worrying about your storyboard being boring 602 00:36:54.040 --> 00:36:58.000 Think more about whether your storyboard is easy to understand 603 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.600 The more you do it, the better you will get 604 00:37:00.600 --> 00:37:03.117 So work on a lot of storyboards 605 00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.000 And whenever you feel not as confident with storyboarding 606 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.246 Please remember that it is a very natural thing to feel 607 00:37:09.959 --> 00:37:14.239 Even someone with a lot of experience like myself always struggles with storyboarding 608 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.879 It's something we all struggle with 609 00:37:16.879 --> 00:37:19.879 So do not despair, lower your expectations 610 00:37:19.879 --> 00:37:22.592 And shall we now move on to drawing storyboard? 611 00:37:23.750 --> 00:37:25.080 Great job today 612 00:37:25.080 --> 00:37:26.080 Thank you 613 00:37:28.358 --> 00:37:30.085 Writing Storyboard Prepatory step before drawing storyboard Writing out how to visualize the story What to do for writing storyboard Write cut number 614 00:37:30.085 --> 00:37:31.691 One emotion, one cut One piece of information, one cut Four or less speech bubble Do not take it too seriously, you can revise it any time 615 00:37:31.691 --> 00:37:33.219 Less pressure with revision Work quickly, enjoy the work 616 00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:35.719 What not to do for writing storyboard Not too many things in a cut Not too many cuts in an episode Do not obsess over the strong final cut No redundant lines 617 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.199 No redundant words Don't make it difficult Don't obsess over your lines 618 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:40.699 Writing good lines How to Make it easily understandable Make it concise Remove redundant words Check for spelling, punctuation and grammar Don't expect a perfect work from the start 619 00:37:40.699 --> 00:37:43.189 Avoid fragmented sentence Show, rather than tell Make sure to deliver the whole of the necessary line Use lines based on the character Try speaking the line out loud
