In a story
How storytellers use whiteboard animation
- 01
Open on the scene
Let the place draw itself in before the first line of the story is read.
- 02
Pace it to the voice
Stretch the drawing to the length of the paragraph, so the colour arrives on its last word.
- 03
Turn pages into clips
Draw each illustration of a picture book and cut them together into one read-aloud video.
Questions
Whiteboard animation for stories: questions
Yes. Any finished picture works, hand drawn and scanned or made with an image model; flat colour and clear outlines draw best.
Yes. Draw with a hand, with the pen alone, or with neither.
You choose the length; a slower drawing keeps the same order of strokes and simply takes its time.
