Before the frame, the rhythm of the story.

A storyboard is a sequence of decisions. Where is the camera? What does the audience know? Which gesture changes the scene? In documentary visual development, these questions define character, space and atmosphere.

I start with beats and the movement of the eye. Thumbnails test clarity and rhythm before detail. Character and prop references maintain continuity between panels.

Polished images come later. AI can suggest light and mood; shot logic and point of view belong to visual direction.
