Walt Disney is credited with creating the modern storyboard. In 1933, “The Three Little Pigs” was completely storyboarded.
Animators at Warner Brothers (Leon Schlessinger) used to post gags and try to link them together into a story.
In the late 1930’s, David Selznik hired William Menzies to storyboard “Gone With the Wind.”
The popularity of storyboarding motion pictures continued with Orson Welles, Howard Hughes, and Alfred Hitchcock.
A large majority of present day directors have their films storyboarded including Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, and the Cohen brothers.
