Storyboards....

After reading "Storyboarding Tips from Dream Works", Ive learned that there are much simpler ways to drawing storyboards. For instance if your not such a good drawer you can draw grids, weather it be for a floor or a sky it gives the field around your character depth and creativity so people can better understand what you're drawing. When dealing with more than one character you should group them accordingly, for example if you have two or more characters standing in one area label them. It can be as simple as A, B, and C this makes it much easier to figure out who is who in your storyboard. It is also good to use depth of field in your picture. It may be a little  harder than on a computer but it sets up the frame for a better shot when you transfer it from your story board to the computer. The way they listed the facts and tips in the article were very descriptive and useful and the images provided made it easier to understand. Should stpry boards be mandatory?
