Thats how it all of works out. Watching TV and watching movies is like looking at art that can move. But the basis of film and television is art. It all starts out in its raw form in art. You will never see a movie or a TV show without story boards and Illustraitions. Like 3D modeling in which you mention Death the guide for the director from the Illustraitors is mainly the Story board. Those story boards evolve into moveing scenes called anamatics and then turned into the scene which the animators do. Thats the basis of a film turning still artwork and makeing that art come alive and move.
That 3D modeling and minatures add to the effect of the realisem. They also act as guides to show things how they would move and look 3 demensionally.
Because a story board doesnt tell much. In a typical art studio you may have a thousand story boards all posted up on sheets of foam core that depict the scenes in the most quick and simpleist form which is a gesture or line drawing. The director would go through and select the shot he likes and sometimes the artist sits there and is shocked because your trying to think ok he wants that shot but theres hundreds of thousands of characters in that shot. You have to think how you are going to transition that story board into a completed Illustration to hand over to the modelers. And the modelers have to interpret the Illustrations from artists so they can make 3D models from and minatures and then hand that over to the animators to make that come alive. Its a very demanding type of job being artists and modelers and animators. You are constantly in the hot seat and on demand in short amount of times. Not only you have to have talent but you need to have a lot of craft
and you need to your talent as fast as possible and still withhold your great talent. It can at times be tedious and intimidateing. All areas are important and the area that I want to do which is the Illustraitor is the first step in makeing a movie.
