Wonderfully free and Genius Idea

If you are storyboarding save yourself some time and buy Sims 2 for 40 bucks. You can create your sets customize your characters and do all of your storyboards fairly quickly. Its great because you can move the camera where ever you want. Unfortunately you cant get great angles but you get everything you need for the most part.

I have found using this technique can be a bit frustrating though because you actually need to play the game a little. Otherwise your sims start dying. I feel a bit like the architect in the matrix as I have created 4 studios that were disasterous with Sims dying and all kinds of horribly nightmarish things happening. Also your sims wont do what you want if you don't treat them like...... Stars. hmmmmm Well to get my sims to behave and sit where I want and stand where I want for the storyboards, I first created a giant warehouse filled it with saunas and all kinds of luxuries so they could be happy as clams I even created an extra sim that liked cleaning. Then in the other part of the warehouse I created the studio where I can design my sets. So when My sims get unruly and wont don't want to do the story boarding I need done I just put the game on auto and high speed for 10 minutes and they are all refreshed and willing to sit or stand where I want. So far I have only lost one Sim. I have also had one sim go crazy. Regardless Story boards are much easier this way since I don't really draw and have way to many projects going on and not enough green to pay someone. I will post examples later of my Sim Storyboards.
