Communication

Quote_1.png
Craig McCracken
"One of the main things I do is focus on ideas and what stories we decide to tell, but probably the biggest part of my job I'd say is working on the storyboards."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Craig McCracken
"The storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene."

Action

Craig McCracken

Craig McCracken

Quote_1.png
