people specialized in making storyboards for films, TV commercials, animation films etc. An artist who writes storyboards is able to visualize any plot and draws it in a piece of paper whenever required.

This is a very intricate and tough job and an artist is required to submit his project on scheduled time. So speed and accuracy is a must for every artist.

Either at the time when the agency tries to win the client's business or it may be after the client has signed on for the project with the agency.

In film industry, a Storyboard Artist is generally hired at the beginning of a project. When a Storyboard artist is hired by a picture company, the artist job is to break down the scenes of the script into modules also called slots which will be filmed. This is supervised by the film's director in order to fulfill the director's thoughts from the beginning of the project. Therefore, it is always beneficial for the storyboard artist to know the basics of filmmaking when assisting the director.

In an animation film, Story Board Artist is required to work throughout the entire production.

They have to fight their way all the way to the top. Graduates from Art courses like Graphics or Illustration, who have passion and knowledge in film technique and storytelling, can also follow in the same lead. Only some live action Story Board Artists can make it to the field of animation, but it should be taken into view that the skills which are developed in making commercials may not be considered valid for larger format productions like movies.
