Storyboarding -- The Vision Thing. Storyboards can be a director's best collaborative communication tool, whether in early project development or in principal photography. Learn how to translate your incoherent shot ideas or break down high action scenes into simple sketches that illustrate your vision to your collaborators (from camera crew to talent). Participants will be introduced to the basics of storyboarding with simple vanishing point perspective and stick figures (no drawing talent necessary!)



Seating limited to 15 people, so get your fee in early to secure your spot.

Bring medium-sized sketch pad, sharpened #2 pencils, and eraser.



Participants will learn to:

* translate scene descriptions into concise visual images

* create tension and visual interest in the framing and set-up of shots

* devise shots that augment dramatic action and character

* storyboard classic movie scenes to practice the leap from the page to
imagined physical action

A native Austinite, Sidney Brammer was a Fine Arts major at U.T., and performing artist in theatre, dance, film, and television. Sidney helped found the award-winning regional theatre company, Big State Productions, whose signature production, In The West, toured the state for a decade and played Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in the early 1990s, representing the best of Texas theatre.



In the late 1980s and 90s she lived in New York City and Los Angeles, working as a production coordinator, supervisor, and manager on Hollywood and independent feature films as well as commercials.



In tandem with her entertainment industry career, she also worked as a freelance arts critic, feature writer, and editor for various publications, including The New York Amsterdam News, The Texas Observer, The Austin Chronicle, and the Austin American-Statesman. Today, she is an independent video and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, and educator. Her most recent work includes Story and Editorial Consultant for THE LEGEND OF GHOSTWOLF’S GOLD (directed by her former student Shane Scott), Co-director with C.K.
