Most of your favorite shows were probably board-driven.

Cartoons are made to look good. I don't care about some shitty 'deep' stories, why don't you go read War and Peace if you want that you nerd.

>>92604897
Board driven shows are usually only good for shallow comedies, they fall apart for anything meant to be an ongoing story, which is why stuff like the dcau holds up so well compared to other shows.

There's a middle ground between autistic convolution and poorly thought out artfarts.

A script just gives thing a semblance of structure, even if you have a bad script you can tighten it up as you go along, and thus it's better than going whole hog on a shitty first draft of a comic or webcomic with poor dialogue and poorly thought out plots that aren't presented well.

Just because you can draw well doesn't make you a good storyteller, and the only way to get good at telling stories is to mitigate the damages of a shitty first draft and being critical enough of your own work to improve on a basis.

If you start off on a shitty base and then sell it as is, it makes you a shitty storyteller, and at the core, that's what cartoons should be. Not just pretty art. Good stories.

I just want to point out that whoever made that image should feel bad because they couldn't get Karl's most famous catchphrase right.

Where are the posts of Karl describing SJ's ending?

I feel like storyboards really help to give a cartoon good visual structure. They aid in creating interesting action sequences, as well as scenes where body language and movement express emotion through animated gestures.

I think that story boarding helps to structure a story well, but having a script definitely helps to make a story hold up as the show progresses. I think that having a mix of the two is a good route to take if the creator wants to make a show that is both visually interesting and has an interesting plot.

This might not be the best example, but I think that the team that made Kill La Kill storyboarded the entire first half of the series without a concrete plot or ending in mind, then they went back and wrote a script, and then they finished boarding the rest of the show.

(Sorry for the animu example)

The recent season of Samurai Jack is a good example of how a show that is entirely driven by storyboards can fall apart towards the end, especially in terms of pacing and character development, but succeed in terms of creating aesthetically interesting action scenes.

>Cartoons are made to look good
Then why do most modern cartoons look like shit?

>>92605737
I think that falls on Cal Arts. That, and the rise of digital shortcuts which haven't been optimized by modern animation teams.

Digital tools are not being used to make new cartoons look better. Rather, they're being used to make the animation process quicker and cheaper.

This isn't to say that the improvement of animation software is a bad thing. It's just my opinion that the new generation of artists and animators need time to find ways to push digital animation to its limit.

Needless to say, the medium has made great strides in recent years, and smaller and smaller teams are undertaking bigger and better projects.

Gotta get enough (you)s from anons before moving the porn part to /trash/ anon.

I find that if you just talk, your mouth comes up with stuff.

A board can tell a story just as well as a script

>scripter can write but can't draw a cartoon
>scripts sit in My Documents forever

>>92608766
That's when you partner up with a talented artist and create something fucking amazing ala the ONE/Murata dream team making One Punch Man.

>>92604816
Does board-driven means that /co/ wrote a cartoon?

>>92608766
Now, that isn't the spirit.
Have you though of just turning the script into a book?

>>92610065
My /lit/ folder is separate.

>>92604940
So THIS is the power of hating anime

>>92604816
I didn't know board driven cartoons were a jewish tradition.

>>92609639
Don't you mean that's when you draw your cartoon anyway but write it just well enough and draw it just badly enough that it makes an artist obsess over how they could do it better?

It's a very real motivation.
