Draw your characters and scenes:
Using your storyboard as a guide, draw your characters and scenes on separate pieces of paper. Make sure to add color and details to make your drawings come to life!
Record your video:
Using a device with a camera, record each scene of your story. Make sure to hold the camera steady and capture all the details of your drawings.
