One of the main things I do is focus on ideas and what stories we decide to tell, but probably the biggest part of my job I'd say is working on the storyboards.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I approach writing stories as a recorder. I think of my role as some kind of reporting device - recording and projecting.
The storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene.
I've got to be out doing a million things. That's how I find stories. That's how I get the relationships and get the projects that I get with the writers, the directors.
I've never been one of those guys who storyboards every frame, because that would take away some of the mystery and some of the fun.
Whether I'm telling stories in songs or if directing is the next step, being a storyteller is what I like doing.
I like to draw my storyboards myself.
In general, when I'm writing, I concentrate on the story itself, and I leave it to other people, such as agents and publishers, to work out who it's for.
My job is more about helping people tell their stories in ever more interesting ways.
I write and draw from the gut. I often don't know what my stories are about until they're done.
If you just storyboard something, you've already planned it, and you're stuck in the limitations of your imagination.
