Storyboard Hotline now has a Master Class!
Two Class Options: Tuesday Evenings or Friday Mornings
This 5-week Master Class is LIVE and dedicated entirely to your growth.
You’ll be getting real-time, studio-style feedback directly from STORYBOARD HOTLINE.
Here is the plan:
- Deep Dive: We'll break down the 5 LAWS of Storyboarding that I’ve used in my feature film career.
- Application: You will apply these laws to a new story assignment every week, then pitch it live.
- Accomplishment: You'll learn to punch up your jokes and tighten your narrative so when the course is finished, you'll have 4 NEW STORYBOARDS.
MASTER THE
5 LAWS of STORYBOARDING
CONFLICT/ CHARACTER/ COMEDY / CAMERA / CONSTRUCTION
Knowing These 5 Laws
Will Make You A Better Board Artist
- Knowing CONFLICT & CHARACTER enables you to plus the Script. Studios want artists who can MAKE THE SCRIPT BETTER. You do this by amoing up the conflict and injecting personality and acting into your boards. Now you aren't just a draftsman—you’re a filmmaker.
- Learn COMEDY: It’s a cold hard fact: Comedies are the box office kings of animation. When you make the Director laugh, you become the artist that gets remembered. I will teach you the mechanics of humor so your boards land the joke every time.
- ​Master the CAMERA: Stop guessing where to put the CAMERA. Once you understand Conflict and character Knowing where to put the camera becomes second nature.
- CONSTRUCTION: Directors and Execs love artists who can solve problems. By mastering story construction patterns, you’ll learn to identify weak stories and fix them before they break the movie. Be the artist who saves the story.

MORONI TAYLOR
VETERAN OF 34 FEATURE FILMS
​After Brad Bird hired me as a board artist on The Iron Giant, he mentored me in the Laws of Story. Over two years, I learned the fundamental principles of character and story from the industry's greatest director.
For the last two decades, I’ve battle-tested those exact laws on over 34 Feature Films. From the emotional core of The Iron Giant to the comedic timing of Ice Age, Robots, Despicable Me 4, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, I show you what makes a story connect with audiences.
​I’ve worked for giants like Illumination, Blue Sky, Paramount, Sony, and Nickelodeon. I'll show you how to apply industry-standard techniques that will make your boards funny, memorable, and professional.
Story is my jam. In this masterclass, I’ll help you sharpen your humor, tighten your narrative, and prep a portfolio that stands out to recruiters.
