Storyboards de animação e design: usos de storyboards para projeto e composição visual

Abstract

This work aims to compare different uses of storyboards, analyzing projects and visual compositions, through the syntax of the visual language and gestalt of the object. The analysis, guided by the case study method, aims to gather information to develop a manual that helps the use of storyboards in design. The storyboard tool is very useful in design for the presentation and discussion of ideas, especially in projects focused on the user and their interactions with the product. In parallel, in animation, the storyboard is an intrinsic tool in the audiovisual project. When comparing the use of this tool in different projects, it is possible to notice that storyboard artists have well-developed techniques for applying knowledge of visual composition that makes storyboards more efficient in communication. Studies of gestalt and visual language, present in the design, help us to understand the techniques that, are analyzed in search of a more fruitful use of storyboards in design. Finally, a manual for using storyboards for designers is proposed, objectively and practically.
