Animation and Character Design - Storyboarding with LTX Studio

Storyboarding with LTX Studio guides students through one of the most essential skills in film, animation, and visual media—translating an idea into a planned visual sequence. Using LTX Studio or a comparable AI-assisted tool, students plan and build a short storyboard that demonstrates clear narrative thinking, intentional visual choices, and professional structure.

Students begin with an introduction to storyboarding as a professional practice, studying real storyboards from animation and film production and analyzing how scene composition, camera angle, character positioning, and transitions work together to tell a story before a single frame is rendered.

From there, students develop a short original narrative and map it into a storyboard sequence using AI tools to generate scene imagery and visual layouts. They make deliberate choices about pacing, perspective, and visual flow—learning that storyboarding isn't just planning, it's a form of storytelling in itself.

The lesson also introduces students to how AI is changing pre-production workflows in film and animation—from concept visualization to pitch decks—giving students professional context for the skills they're developing.

Students leave with a completed storyboard project and a practical understanding of visual narrative structure that applies across media, animation, game design, and film.
