In his blog, John K Stuff, John Kricfalusi has been discussing how he structures his stories.
Here is an excerpt from the original storyboard to "Stimpy’s Invention". Most of this board is by Bob Camp; supplemented by a few xeroxes of layout drawings by Chris Reccardi. Take a moment and read John K’s notes on how he constructs his stories… (Part One / Part Two / Part Three / Part Four and his post on Outlining Stories) and then take a look at how the theories are implemented in this section of board.
Many thanks to John Kricfalusi for donating the original storyboards for Ren & Stimpy to Animation Resources’ animation archive project. We’re proud to have this material in our permanent collection.
