So why use a 4×6 grid of 24 frames when 21 is the usual maximum? You see, a storyboard artist must provide more frames than the bare minimum, and sooner than the allotted time frame, because until the final versions are rendered and presented to client, one cannot know if the task is complete. The industry standard (if there is such a thing) number-of-frames-per-day for a commercial storyboard artist is about 18-21 frames, and that’s about right from what I’ve experienced. As should be clear by now, I’m primarily a commercial storyboard artist, which means the stories I tell are about :30 long. Lets talk a bit about why this template works well for me. If you’re looking for HD, scroll down to the bottom, where I have other templates available. I’m aware that’s not HD resolution, and I’ll address that. That’s a fairly large image resolution but the frames themselves are only about 708 x 394, give or take. The document itself is 3450 x 3600 pixels. It’s a bare bones grid of rectangles, in 16×9 ratio.
So maybe think of this as a storyboarding workspace. It is also not intended to be a “final” presentation storyboard- I use it to create my storyboards, and then after I’ve drawn them, the clients often give me their own template to transfer my frames into. But I by no means suggest that it is perfect for every storyboard. It’s just the template I use for almost every project, and by nature of experience, I can testify it has worked out very well for me. First off, this is not a definitive industry standard template (no such animal exists). So, here’s a preview, and here’s the official link to the image, which you can save to your hard drive! Up until that point I was doing them in standard NTSC 4×3 aspect ratio.

I have for you, for FREE DOWNLOAD (it’s on the internet, after all), my personal, made from scratch, professional commercial storyboarding template! Yes!Īccording to the file’s “created on” date, I crafted this template in 2009, when I began doing national commercials, and all my clients needed boards done in 16×9 format, for HD broadcast. Wait, what day is it? Anyway, the time has come for me to provide something of utility to the young storyboard artists out there. I’m feeling generous! It’s a great day to give back to the community.
