During the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/finding-dory-monterey\/\">press event<\/a> I went to (which was hosted by Disney\/Pixar), Co-Director Angus MacLane and Story Supervisor Max Brace explained some of the processes that went into bringing Dory\u2019s story to the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>It was no easy task taking words on the page (from the script) and translating them into a feature-length film. Story creators had to keep in mind Dory\u2019s goal and temper that with just the right amount of emotion. How? It mostly boils down to the fundamental storyboard process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iG0P6bjyUNI\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>What is a Storyboard?<\/h3>\n<p>A storyboard is basically a group rough sketches on paper used to demonstrate the tone of each scene. The compiled storyboards then become an overall blueprint for the final film. Since the blank drawing spaces are fairly small, not much detail is included. However, animators and actors are able to get an idea of the desired filming composition, setting, acting, and lighting from these. 103,639 storyboards made up the framework of Finding Dory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/finding-dory-story-02.jpg\" alt=\"Movies | Entertainment | The written script for Finding Dory went from words on a page to a full-length feature thanks to storyboarding.

A storyboard is animated and sent to the director. The director then makes notes on the drawing, changes are sent to the editorial team, and the artist finishes up the scene. Scratch voices (temporary dialogue by staff) are recorded and music is added in. The story reels, as the finished shorts are called, are reviewed by production heads and the studio every 4 months.<\/p>\n<h3>Touch Pool Scene w\/ Angus MacLane &amp; Max Brace<\/h3>\n<p>Angus MacLane and Max Brace did a quick re-enactment of creating the \u201ctouch pool\u201d scene. The idea for this came during one of the team\u2019s research trips. One person noticed there was a basket of Starfish in the back and, after asking about it, he was told that sometimes Starfish need a break from being touched, poked, and handled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/finding-dory-story-03.jpg\" alt=\"Movies | Entertainment | The written script for Finding Dory went from words on a page to a full-length feature thanks to storyboarding.

The animator and director worked hand in hand to make, improve, and polish a scene for the movie. At first Hank (who I\u2019ll tell you about later) drove the story but, when the focus was brought back to Dory, everything worked so much better. 240 sequences later (during the real process, not the abbreviated version we witnessed) a truly hilarious scene was devised.
