Is Storyboarding Even Relevant?
Short answer? Hell yes.
Long answer? Still yes — but let me explain without sounding like a film school lecturer.
People love to say “we’ll figure it out on set.”
Cool… until you’re standing there with a camera, a client staring at you, the light dying, and suddenly nobody knows what the hell the next shot is. I’ve been there. It’s chaos disguised as “creative freedom.”
Storyboards aren’t about being fancy.
They’re about not wasting time, money, or brain cells.
Think of a storyboard as your map. It shows you where you’re going, what the vibe is, and how the final video will feel. Without it, you’re basically playing hide-and-seek with your own vision.
And here’s the kicker:
Every great-looking “spontaneous” video you’ve ever seen?
Yeah… it was planned. Even the messy ones.
Why storyboarding still matters:
1. It saves you from painful shoot-day surprises.
You already know the angles, the transitions, the rhythm. No guessing.
2. It keeps everyone on the same page.
Clients, crew, actors — no more “Wait, what are we filming again?”
3. It protects the story.
When everything gets hectic (and it will), the storyboard keeps the message intact.
4. It makes editing a million times easier.
Because you shot with intention, not hope.
Could you skip it? Sure.
Should you? Only if you enjoy stress and mediocre footage.
So yeah… storyboarding is still relevant. And if you want videos that look clean, feel intentional, and actually convert — it’s not just relevant, it’s a lifesaver.
