First of all I familiarized myself with the location of the sequence- Central Park Zoo. I went through the first 'Madagascar' on dvd, freeze-framing the key locations and making layout studies & geographical notes.
Then reading through the script I start to jot down any thoughts, ideas for business and key images that strike me.
Then I thumb-nailed out the entire sequence-fleshing out the character business and camera angles
Lastly I worked it up on the 4x3 story board pads provided-I didn't get all the way through but had the end of the sequence covered in the thumbnails above.

Wow you did a great job on this test! Thanks for sharing. It is great to see your process.
Super. Thanks for sharing this. Really interesting to me to see how you approach your storyboard and your process.
so cool, thanks for sharing!
Great post Matt! Do you still use thumbnails like this? In a youtube video of a calarts speech Mark Andrews is very much against the use of thumb's. Wonder how you feel about that?
thanks for sharing Matt and I have the same question as Joscha just above.
Cheers
Wow. That's really thorough. Really nice looking work too. It's a shame you didn't get the gig at the time (hard to see how), but I guess it's worked out in the end. I'm impressed how well you adapted to the style.
Thanks folks! I use thumbnails yes. Different directors work in different ways with their Story team. I'm working with Andrew Stanton at the moment and he insists on it. Mark Andrews is a force of nature with a camera brain! He can just draw boards straight off! That approach is essentially using thumb-nails as the finished article. With enough experience and thought you can do it . Thumbnailing helps me keep track of camera placement/scene geography so I don't get lost in the staging and cutting.
Wow this is pure gold, thank you so much for sharing !
Ditto what everyone else has said. Great post!
