@ admin – I had the same message (word for word) in my comments and since there was no link attached, I left it. But after seeing it here, yeah, I do think so. I have since hit the delete button. :)

@ SP – Yes, I think it’s more all the behind the scenes stuff of the entertainment business. The course came about after I left, so I can’t say I know a lot about it. Those film schools can cost a bundle, can’t they? :)

@James – funny how you left the *exact* same comment on my blog. *sniff*…I smell spam.

@Jaden – where’s our delete keys? ;)

@Ellen – we are indeed in sych with the writer but I’ve never communicated with one! I get the script and that’s it. Mind you, I only board for animation so it’s a bit different than live action. In TV cartoons, *everyone* pretty much works from the board. It’s truly a ‘bible’ of the episode. In live action, it’s probably dumped after shooting finishes (unless it’s special effects heavy) and then it’s in the editor’s hands.

@Steph – Hi! There are some amazing boards to be found on DVDs. Like you appreciate that, I appreciate the writer. I’m not an ‘idea person’ but I love helping others tell their stories better.

@T – thanks! The trick is to keep in mind they were made *before* anything is shot. I think folks forget that sometimes. :) I think it can benefit the writer to think where their script is going next. Like I know where my board is going next (layout and animation) helps me make a better production-friendly board.

Thanks to all (and Jaden) for the nice comments. :)
