Introduction to StoryboardingCopyright 2000 Transition Stress Management, Inc.BackgroundLeonardo DaVinci was probably the first person to use storyboards. He drew cartoons to represent his ideas and thus convey them visually to others. Modern business use of storyboarding began with Walt Disney during the development of his first feature animated movie "Steamboat Willie" in 1929. Using a large wall-mounted corkboard similar to the bulletin board his mother used to keep in the kitchen when he was growing up, Disney had his artists pin all their drawings on the board, organized by scene, so he could arrive in the office each morning and get a quick understanding of the progress of the project. Then he would hold a meeting with all the artists, and they could interactively rearrange the sequence of scenes as they decided which of the possible different stories to tell. This planning method is still widely used in the movie industry today. Storyboarding eventually evolved to become the planning process for the entire Disney organization; Walt Disney World, for example, was planned and built entirely through the use of storyboarding techniques. Thus was born the 20th Century's most effective means of planning and managing creative team projects. Transition Stress Management associates were mentored in storyboarding by Jim Norman of the Phoenix Creative Planning Center beginning in the mid-1990's. With the introduction of Balanced Group Thinking by Transition Stress Mangement, Inc. in year 2000, storyboarding has taken another evolutionary step by including the use of Kundalini Yoga exercises to balance participants' brain hemispheres for better group decision making. ApplicationStoryboarding can be used effectively in any situation where creative group decision making is needed. Typical applications include:
