Storyboarding before shooting cuts production costs 40% and improves concept win rate dramatically.

Shooting without storyboards is the most expensive way to discover your concept doesn't work. Every reshoot costs 2-3x the original.

The workflow

  • Write hook, middle, CTA as text first
  • Storyboard 6-8 frames per concept
  • Gut-check with senior creative director before shoot
  • Shoot efficiently against approved storyboard
  • Edit against storyboard, not in isolation
