UW-Stout student Griffin Buhman completes professional
storyboarding job for Hollywood Camera Work’s new app: Shot Designer.
Griffin, a senior in the BFA in Studio Art
program, has always been interested in storyboarding and comics, and has a passion
for painting.
This fall, he was able to apply his drawing
skills to a professional storyboard project.
Building upon the rigorous studio arts classes,
Griffin started exploring design courses such as Digital Narrative – a course
that focuses on visual storytelling – where he learned storyboarding and
cinematic visualization skills. He’s currently enrolled in the new Comics and
Sequential Studio course, which continues to develop the art of storytelling
through words and pictures. These design courses fit into Griffin’s academic
program requirements as selective options, highlighting the commitment to
interdisciplinary art and design curriculum within the School of Art and
Design.
“When Per Holmes, president of Hollywood Camera
Work, contacted me looking for a storyboard artist for a contract job, Griffin
was one of the first students to come to mind,” quotes faculty member Kevin
Pontuti. “The drawing skills and aesthetic sensibilities he’s developed in his
Studio Arts classes shine through in his Entertainment Design work. He is a
great example of the disciplines of
studio art and design coming together in a very exciting way.”
The app, Shot
Designer, is a cinematic visualization tool that aids directors and
filmmakers plan camera staging and shot blocking. Griffin’s storyboards are
featured both within the app and also in the company’s marketing materials.
