Originally I started storyboarding by hand drawing. Yet since I want my film to be 2D handdrawn/digital, I invested in a new graphic tablet, which arrived today. As it is a lot easier to make changes on frames and their order, I changed to doing my storyboard digital now.
For inspiration on the cinematography of opening scenes I examined the beginning scenes of some animation , e.g. "Spirited away", as my story has similarities with its action.
